Alex Winston

[Madrigal 2,616]

This is Alex Winston:

She is an Indie Folk/Pop singer, whose debut album, King Con, was released early this Summer. Trained originally in Opera, she herself is primarily influenced by good old-fashioned Americana.

She sings over a variety of themes, such as Mormonism/Polygamy ("Sister Wife"), romantic interest in inanimate objects ("Velvet Elvis"), and just good old love songs like "Host" and "The Fold."

My love for Alex was tentative at first, but as time has passed, I have started to love her more and more. She has a very distinctive voice, and paired with The Knocks, and incredible production duo, her music is massively impressive. :3

 

Here are two really exemplary songs:

Out of the Alex Winston songs I've listened to in the past, that you've mentioned to me of course, Locomotive is one of my favorites.

It's really a highlight. :3 I love the synthesizer or whatever that thing is in the beginning, and it's a great album opener.

It is! The lyrics are a bit odd, but the song itself is super catchy.

Does she really sing about Mormonism more than once...?

I guess not. But so many of her lyric are V weird she might as well be.

[Baby V Alex 2,859]

I got her EP Sister Wife and her album and they are both flawless

[Sitar 22,207]

Just got into her and Mad isn't even here to share this moment

[BENTLEY 3,495]

I haven't listened to her other stuff but I absolutely love the song Choice Notes. It was in a commercial and brings such nice memories to me.

Bumping this because four new songs have come out in the last few months (studio versions of We Got Nothing, Careless, Vultures 101, Houdini *acoustic*) and she's opening for Neon Trees

 

if @@Madrigal was still here I'm sure he could help in the unreleased department

prospective tracklist (12 tracks like King Con):

 

101 Vultures

Careless

We Got Nothing

Breakdown

Cruel

Dead End

Gentleman

Head Down Low

Reds In October

The Day I Died

The One That Stayed

This Ain't Luck

[Tyler 840]

Careless is honestly so good, I'm still not sick of it. I feel like this record might lose some of the wacky charm King Con had since these songs are more about her life, and not fictional stories, but we'll see.
