LISTEN TO AND SHARE “WITCH” HERE
Rocket is the Philadelphia-based artist’s eighth full-length release—an assured statement that follows a slate of humble masterpieces, many of them self-recorded and self-released, stretching from 2010’s RACE to his 2015 Domino debut, Beach Music. Rocket’s sessions began shortly after Beach Music’s ended, with Alex tracking songs at home, by himself and with friends, in the gaps between a hectic 2015 and 2016 touring schedule. Rocket was mixed by Jacob Portrait (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Bass Drum of Death), who also lent his hand to Beach Music, giving the album a fine-tuning that retains the homespun personality of earlier efforts.
Rocket is available to pre-order now on limited red translucent vinyl, limited red translucent cassette (Domino Mart exclusive), limited random colourway cassette (Bandcamp exclusive), CD, and digital download.
PRAISE FOR “BOBBY” AND “WITCH”
“He offers salvation in a distant fiddle, a twanging guitar, and the voice of an old friend.” – Pitchfork - Best New Track (“Bobby”)
"timeless in both its instrumentation and its sentiment." – Stereogum (“Bobby”)
“The mystical “Witch”…follows in a lineage of hypnotic indie-rock that recalls Deerhunter and Sung Tongs-era Animal Collective.” – Entertainment Weekly
