In a way that could only be done in modern times, Alex Winston has piled up mounds of attention without even releasing an album. Ever since the success of “Sister Wife,” she’s been a consistent presence in the indie pop world and a magnet to remix artists looking for a fresh subject.
Finally, after dropping singles, videos, and remixes, she’s ready to start focusing on the debut. It’s called King Con, and it’s coming March 5th.
Originally from Detroit, most of the songs on Alex’s debut LP are inspired by books and documentaries about marginal subcultures in America, with the resulting record almost acting as a musical adaptation of the works of Errol Morris and Louis Theroux.
‘King Con’ – the suggestion that an Elvis impersonator is the ultimate con – came to Alex after spending several months in an Elvis costume herself whilst promoting her recent single ‘Velvet Elvis’. ‘Velvet Elvis’ itself is inspired by objectum sexuality and the documentary ‘I Married the Eiffel Tower’.
To hold you over until her next move, check out Alex’s cover of The Black Keys’ “Everlasting Light.”
