Rex Orange County announces his new album The Alexander Technique for release on September 6th via RCA Records. The album was produced entirely by Rex himself alongside Teo Halm (Rosalía, SZA, Beyoncé) and Jim Reed, the latter a member of the Rex Orange County touring band since its inception, in addition to James Blake who produced and features on “Look Me In The Eyes.”
To coincide with the announcement, Rex is sharing two new singles with accompanying music videos, Alexander and & Guitar Song, that showcase two distinctly different sides of the album. Album opener Alexander arrives with a Nick Walker-directed music video that introduces the inspiration for the album's title while the video for Guitar Song features footage of Rex filmed by Alexandra Waespi at Decoy Studios in England during the album's creation.
“The Alexander Technique is very much a look into my own brain and experiences over the
last few years – it’s almost a diary,” he says. Longer than any project he’s ever made and
more musically varied, The Alexander Technique was made over a matter of years, started
before and finished after 2022’s WHO CARES?; listening to it feels like watching an artist
grow in real-time, and face all the attending growing pains that come alongside. “I’ve made
a lot of love songs over the years, and I feel as though this is the first time I’m trying to make
a project about everything in life. In my mind, it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted to make.”
Two options available: Standard black vinyl or Indie exclusive 'Smores' vinyl.
