REX ORANGE COUNTY - The Alexander Technique | 2LP

The Alexander Technique is the new album from Rex Orange County. This project was produced entirely by Rex himself, in collaboration with his long-time collaborators Teo Halm (Rosalía, SZA, Beyoncé), Jim Reed and James Blake. The Alexander Technique is named after a therapeutic practice that treats back pain to resolve deeper health issues. It's a fitting title for Rex's album: what started as a simple exercise to change his writing style became his most intimate and open album. Framing his music with a raw blend of R&B and indie folk, while retaining the orchestral richness that has become his hallmark, The Alexander Technique marks the beginning of Act Two of Rex Orange County's career. A new chapter where he fully reveals himself, no matter the pain it might entail. "The Alexander Technique is really a look into my own mind and my experiences over the past few years – it's almost a journal," he explains. Longer than any other project he has ever undertaken and musically more varied, The Alexander Technique was created over several years, started before and finished after the 2022 album "WHO CARES?". Listening to it feels like watching an artist grow in real time and confront all the pains that accompany that journey.
