Alex Winston is a young American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with classically trained background having got much attention during last years performing with diverse range of artists at the different stages (Chuck Berry, Miranda Lambert, The Wreckers, Love Arcade, Electric Six, We Are The Fury, the Satin Peaches, Uncle Kracker, and more). Now he has released an 5-piece cover album, making out a refreshing coat for the chosen songs of Mumford & Sons, Teddy Bears, The Rolling Stones, Jack Penate, and Francis and the Lights. No doubt, her high-pitched timbre and artistical shuffling are up here to reveal her talented skills drifting ideologically very close to the New Weird America movement`s female figureheads like Joanna Newsom, the sisters Casady (CocoRosie), Danielle Stech-Homsy (Rio en Medio), Meg Baird (Espers; The Baird Sisters). As an ordinary characteristic regarding the NWA the soundscape is half-electronic, half-acoustic, conjuring innocently beatific even naivistic milieus via minimal-approved chord paintings. Indeed, enjoy it, it is really worth much attention to be paid for.
