‘New Music Monday’ is a new feature here on Kate’s Tales of Books and Bands. This feature was thought up partly because of the awesome people at I Am Mighty Records. They keep me updated on new artists that they have signed and I figured they needed a whole feature dedicated to these up and coming artists! This isn’t going to be a weekly feature, it’s more of a post as the music comes along type of thing but I hope you enjoy it regardless!
For today’s artist, I have:
Alexander
“Hailing from Newcastle, Indie Rock 4 piece ‘Alexander’ are releasing their debut album ‘Say Hello’ in early 2013 on I Am Mighty Records.
The band has been creating a buzz across the UK already. The first single ‘You Lost Youself’ taken from the record is out now, with a beautiful acoustic version of the song as a B-side.
Taking influence from the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Futures and Two Door Cinema Club, ‘Alexander’ are bringing a punchy and appealing sound to the indie UK music scene.”
Today I will be sharing with you guys, the music video for their single, ‘You Lost Yourself’! I only have this song to go off of but I am already a fan of Alexander! Their sound is so much fun! I’ve listened to the song only a handful of times now but I already catch myself humming along to it. I think what I like most about them is how different they seem to be. They are not entirely pop-ish nor are they completely rock-ish (I suppose that’s what they mean by “Alternative” but still…). They have a sweet and simple sound to them but don’t let that fool you, I can also see myself dancing around like a goon to their music. Do yourself a favor and take a moment to watch their music video below (Beware: They are all completely adorable. I may have grinned like a fool while watching it…). If you are on Spotify, also be sure to check out the Acoustic version of ‘You Lost Yourself‘! It is slowed down quite a bit giving it a sadder (but still awesome) tone!
