With Hurricane Florence making landfall this past week, the waters up and down the American East Coast have been choppier and more dangerous than usual. There have been drownings miles away from the Carolinas, and one indie rock musician has helped save a kid’s life.

If you’ve ever seen the sly Australian rocker Alex Cameron, you’ve also seen Roy Molloy. Molloy is the saxophonist who adds the slick ’80s textures to Cameron’s music.

Cameron tweeted about Molloy’s rescue, writing that Molloy is a “full time operator” who “Jumped in off the rocks and got to him before he drowned.” Meanwhile, as Pitchfork points out, the local CBS affiliate in New York City interviewed Molloy, who told the story about he and a surfer brought a boy to safety.
