Alex Alex
London
Alex Alex writes huge, darkly textured music. He plays wild and ethereal guitar layered with moving lyrics and a crystalline vocal. Fresh out of recording his debut EP at Abbey Road, Alex Alex´s music is soaked in desire and restraint. Influenced by the soulful tones of John Martyn, the fervent grit of noughties emo and the haunting atmospherics of the XX, his dreamlike looping riffs and airy vocals live long in the memory. His songs move organically from intimacy to scale in seconds - he’ll hit you where it hurts.
