Gross Net

**Gross Net** is the brainchild of Brooklyn-based artist and producer Alex Epton, a multi-hyphenate creative known for his sharp, satirical take on modern capitalism and its absurdities. Blending wiry electronic beats, glitchy textures, and deadpan vocals, Gross Net’s music feels like a dystopian dance party soundtracked by spreadsheets and stock tickers. Tracks like “Quantitative Easing” and “Outstanding Debt” showcase Epton’s knack for wrapping bleak economic themes in catchy, off-kilter grooves, making existential dread weirdly danceable.

Epton, who’s also worked behind the scenes as a producer for acts like The xx and FKA twigs, launched Gross Net as a solo outlet to channel his darkly humorous critiques of late-stage capitalism. His self-referential tracks (see: “Gross Net Means Gross Net”) revel in irony, pairing bureaucratic jargon with squelchy synths and minimalist beats. Though details about his personal background are kept deliberately vague, his music speaks volumes—a fittingly cryptic artifact for our algorithm-driven age.
