Keeping things mellow and magical, Alexander Carson has shared his latest single ‘The Museum’, a track you don’t want to miss out on. Striking the balance between simple yet perfectly meaningful, Alexander’s honest and authentic approach does not go unnoticed.
Layering poetic lyrics on top of atmospheric instrumentation, ‘The Museum’ takes listeners on a journey of reflection, as the talent sings on the complexities of modern life. Harbouring a calming and almost healing aura, the song ebbs and flows and invites you to sit back and muse.
Sharing his thoughts on the release, Alexander Carson explained, “The Museum is the first single taken from my third solo album ‘The Idiot’. The track is about the loss of youth and naivety, inspired by JD Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye. The Museum is littered with tongue in cheek references to poisons, Abba classics, and western societies’ collective obsession with their phone screens.
He further revealed, “This song is perhaps the most reminiscent of my previous outfit Wooden Arms as this features a lavish string section provided by Owen Morgan (Double Bass), Josephine Stevenson (Cello) and Jessica Diggins (violin) to create a rich, layered tapestry of sound in the song’s finale. Drums and engineering were provided by Fabian Prynn (Douglas Dare / DD Dumbo) at 4AD studios, and marks one of the many songs from “The Idiot” that myself and Fabian both collaborated on. More singles from the album will be released in 2022 in the lead-up to the album coming out on vinyl/CD in Autumn.”
As he gears up to share his newest project ‘The Idiot’ in Autumn 2022, Alexander has given us a taste of what to expect, making us all the more excited to hear what he has up his sleeve.
