Editor's note

IAMX, Chris Corner's dark electronic project

The solo electronic venture that emerged after Sneaker Pimps, built on atmospheric production and personal lyrics.

For a good sense of the project, put on 'The Alternative' or 'Naked But Safe.' That's the IAMX sound in a nutshell.

IAMX gave Chris Corner a vehicle for the kind of dark, introspective electronic music that didn't fit the Sneaker Pimps mold. Songs like 'Naked But Safe' and 'The Alternative' define that sound, atmospheric, built on mood rather than pop hooks, with lyrics that lean into the personal and sometimes provocative. It's a project that feels like a direct line to the songwriter's own headspace.

Corner started IAMX in 2004, right after his time with Sneaker Pimps. The early albums Kiss + Swallow and The Alternative established the project's dark electronic style, and he's handled vocals, writing, and production for it ever since.
