Madrigal 2,613 Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) 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: Acoustic Mix of "Velvet Elvis:" http://soundcloud.com/alexwinstonofficial/velvet-elvis-acoustic-mix3 by http://soundcloud.com/alexwinstonofficial/velvet-elvis-acoustic-mix3 "Animal Baby:" http://soundcloud.com/the-recommender/alex-winston-animal-baby by http://soundcloud.com/the-recommender/alex-winston-animal-baby New EP out now!

Matt 976 Posted November 21, 2012 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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madrigal 2,613 Posted November 21, 2012 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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BENTLEY 3,494 Posted March 11, 2014 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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drewby 9,222 Posted April 25, 2015 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 https://soundcloud.com/alexwinstonofficial 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyler 840 Posted May 10, 2015 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. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
