"Occult Stereo [is] driven by self-recording multi-instrumentalist/vocalist/programmer Alex Eliopoulos, who blends electronic and organic instrumentation to a readily divergent affect, melding styles across genres with expressive weirdness. As deep as Occult Stereo plunge, the spaces occupied are individual and fascinating."
- The Obelisk

"A lucid, galvanized synthesis of psych-noise ... remote artistic transmissions and incendiary, fuzzed out guitars ... all coalescing into a striking, abstract sonic cycle of apocalypse and re-birth"
- It's Psychedelic Baby! Magazine

"Truly unique ... with high levels of experimentation and creativity. Abrasive, yet soothing at the same time ... speaks to the whole spectrum of musical tone, a yin yang of styles that can’t be described with established genres of music. Best to be listened to as a whole, just enjoying the progressive experience, start to finish. Very atmospheric at points and highly creative, Occult Stereo creates its own world, and travels freely through its vast solar system."
- POW Magazine

Occult Stereo - a solo/open-collab project from Alex Eliopoulos (of San Francisco's experimental rock collective Impuritan) - embraces aural freedom in many forms, from ambient soundscapes to fuzz-guitar freakouts and drone-like psychedelic oceans. Alex is a Greek-American guitarist & multi-instrumentalist who combines experimental, psych, and art rock influences in spontaneous ways.

Live, OS occupies a unique space that combines traditional song structure with improvisational, noise, and wall-of-sound intensity. Dual guitar & bass amplifiers provide a full-spectrum sonic wash, creating an otherworldly vibe when combined with manipulation of beats, electronics, and voice.

OS released "Plasma" on 12” vinyl in 2020 - featuring impromptu contributions from musicians & friends in the US and globally. The LP received positive reviews, and was followed by a whirlwind relocation from the USA to Europe.

OS released the "Free Roam Syndrome / Zero Sum" EP/single digitally in 2021. After a few select EU dates in 2022, OS entered a creative wormhole for the next full-length release, with only two "official" live EU dates (Berlin in 2022 and Athens in 2024) while completing the new album.

"A Temporary Utopia" was released digitally June 5, 2025. The album is a melting pot of noise rock, psychedelic, shoegaze, acoustic, industrial, ambient, drone, and improvisation. Contributions from others also elevate the sound to new levels for these 11 songs.

In the past, Alex has shared stages with an eclectic array of artists like Azalia Snail, The Veldt, Ava Mendoza, 3 Leafs, Naxatras, Avi Buffalo, Coastlands, Death Hawks and Clipd Beaks. His music has received US west coast radio airplay on KALX, KZSU, and KFJC, and KOCF, and inclusion in San Francisco Public Library's "Bay Beats" archival collection.
