There’s something inherently unique about Alec Rose, a unique way to organize sounds and lyrics, resulting in an intimate, cathartic and soothing artistic experience. Take for instance his latest effort ‘Nothing New’. Following up from debut single ‘Underwater’, released earlier this year, the record seems to continue on the same script, engaging in eclectic and lo-fi flavoured beats that embrace minimalism, thin guitars and crepuscular tones.
Rose’s vocals feel constantly understated, pushing the listener towards full attention to its lyricism. Evocative and poignant, Alec’s tone is the perfect partner for such fragile and introspective material. Exploring themes such as mundanity, feeling stuck and boredom, ‘Nothing New’ quickly becomes an anthem for modern melancholia, slowly pushing the listeners into more emotional and nostalgic territories.
Delving into the inspiration behind the single, Alec Rose explains: “The lyrics were inspired by the societal expectation of needing something new to report, and being made to feel “less than” when you don’t have anything exciting going on in your life.”
