Alan MX

It is with relief that we can report AlanMX has released his debut album, Warpsichord. A weight off our mind as the secret's finally out: AlanMX is brilliant. A musical mind as colourful and playful as a fairground, and a voice that reminds you how good Tom Vek was. The album's a study in skittering beats, jittering string samples and lyrics that touch on the subtle nuances of love and relationships.

Confidently pitching his tent in "gay artists" camp, he has an unambiguous opinion about who that relates to his music.

“When I think about it, most music is an expression of love. Or songs, anyway. The most common subject of a song is love or lust. If someone was to renounce or ignore their sexuality as a musician, I think it limits their accessibility.”

Musical toffee for your ears, Warpsichord is released on Small Town America and available now from iTunes.
