What a treat Alex's music is, a sound you can really sink into with silky and flowing orchestration, bright melodic chimes, soft warming timbres and a voice that has a whispered comforting husk. Absolute luxury.

On Alex Izenberg & The Exiles, the Los Angeles artist was focused on a simple goal: making something built to last. The melodies are romantic and warm, and the arrangements are invitingly expansive, making expert use of a new ensemble formed around the strongest songs of his career. Fitting for a record that collects Izenberg’s widest array of collaborators, he expanded his process further by enlisting veteran producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, Built to Spill) to mix the album. The resulting sound is just as intimate as any of Izenberg’s more hermetic material, while casting a mystical, communal glow that feels brand new in his body of work. 

Today Alex Izenberg also unveils “Only the Moon Knows,” a song that feels a bit like Yellow House-era Grizzly Bear suited up for the symphony on acid, as well as the huffing, percussive “Drinking the Dusk Away,” which is accompanied by a video from Giraffe Studios.
