‘King Con’, Winston’s forthcoming debut is an exhilarating collection of songs; the album title reflects the multi-instrumentalist’s innate fascination in the pretenders of the world: everyday con-men, cult leaders and sham preachers.
Having already notched-up over 750,000 hits on YouTube and been featured in TV adverts for Hyundai and TK Maxx, ‘Choice Notes’ will be getting a full release on March 5th.
Most of the songs on Alex’s debut LP are inspired by books and documentaries about marginal subcultures in America, with the resulting record almost acting as a musical adaptation of the works of Errol Morris and Louis Theroux.
Alex’s previous releases, including an acclaimed mini-album, were recorded on Garageband and ‘King Con’ sees her take a step up in terms of production, working with the likes of Charlie Hugall (Florence and the Machine, Ed Sheeran, Crystal Fighters), Bjorn Yttling (Lykke Li) and The Knocks.
