Alex's lyrics draw upon personal experiences whilst conveying something universal as if touching upon topics with a world-weary authority: the frustration that comes with dealing with reprobate friends, self-centred drug-use and the stinging loneliness of an unreciprocated affection all feature prominently. Like classic artists Neil Young and Alex Chilton, Alex's songs are refreshingly robust and rapturous, with enough lo-fi grit to ground them in a sparse, impressionistic space.
