Livonia
His Name Is Alive is an experimental rock and dream-pop project from Livonia, Michigan, active since 1985 with Warren Defever as its only constant member. Defever began recording alone on a four-track in high school; the early vocals were by his friend Angie Carozzo. He has more than 100 records to his credit, not fact-checked by the source, and works as a mastering engineer at Third Man Records in Detroit.
Livonia (June 25, 1990 in the UK on 4AD, with a US edition in 1992 on Rykodisc adding "Livonia" at 4:10) was produced by Defever, Ivo Watts-Russell and Fryer, mixed at Blackwing Studios and recorded from 1985 to 1990. Stars on E.S.P. came out on June 24, 1996 (infobox; the text also says July) on 4AD in the UK and 4AD US via Warner Bros., produced by Defever, recorded from 1992 to 1995 and running 44:11 (58:33 on the 1998 reissue).
