ALEX SOUTHEY – “ATHLETES”
INDEPENDENT
Toronto’s Alex Southey is sharing an exploratory new EP of singer-songwriter tracks in collaboration with producer Alex Gamble and saxophonist Ben Dwyer. The EP features focus track, “Athletes,” a contemplative and brooding piece inspired by power dynamics and careerism. The lilting acoustic piece features eerie effects that are juxtaposed with the delicate melodies of Dwyer’s saxophone playing.
Alex Southey began his career as a solo acoustic artist in 2019. With each subsequent release, he has developed an increasingly passionate fanbase, along with positive recognition, play, and coverage from CBC Radio, Exclaim! Magazine, Dominionated, Canadian Beats, NXNE, Wintersong Festival, Tinnitist, The Sound Cafe, CHCH Morning Show, and a slew of Canadian college radio stations.
ARTIST QUOTE
Although it begins as somewhat sparse, I consider this song to be really colourful, and by that I mean it inspires a lot of different emotions in me, depending on where I am in the song. I’m intrigued at the beginning, enjoying the ride by the second verse, confronted with the discomfiting bridge, and relieved we wind back to the initial progression. ~Alex Southey
