Description
Alexander Carson is a non-binary singer-songwriter/composer based in rural North Norfolk, United Kingdom, who spends the majority of their time bumbling around a remote cottage in the woods making obtuse sounds, comforted and accompanied by two ambivalent cats, one over-excited dog, and one long-suffering partner.
Carson first picked up the piano at age 4 (which is especially difficult considering the weight) and was classically trained, their music reflects this discipline, and despite its simple-sounding structure, certain portions of their work are unplayable by most musicians owing to the concealed complexity.
Carson is inspired by the mundanity of modernity and aims to articulate the absurdity of human existence in their music. This is all presented with a surrealist sense of humour to soften the often melancholic timbre of the music.
Essentially their music is trying to set one Oscar Wilde quote to music: "Life is much too important a thing ever to talk seriously about"
"It rings very true to me...Very sad, and very beautiful." - Guy Garvey (Elbow) BBC6 Music
““Lovers” is a perfect blend of modern songwriting and classical musicianship.” - Line of Best Fit
“Sounding at times like an Irish prayer and others a bit Bowie-ish, but never dull or less challenging.” - Where the Music Meets
“The fragile vocals and piano playing are unmistakably Alexander – a distinctive timbre and delicate working of the keys that always reminds slightly of Anthony and the Johnsons” - Outline Magazine
“The antidote to toxic masculinity…” - Oberon White (The K Hole)
