Alex Exists releases new single, “With A Bang,” along with an accompanying video
Today, Toronto artist Alex Exists shares a tune that lives up to its title – “With A Bang” – marking the second single from his forthcoming debut album, Everybody’s Famous, out June 16 via The Confidence Emperors. Dark prose, edgy synths, funky percussion, and resonant chords drive the irreverent dance song about celebrating the end of something in a flamboyant and over-the-top way. The character in the song is someone who revels in endings, relishing the opportunity to make a big show out of a final act.
Alex adds:
“Realizing the absurdity of their own behaviour, and the emptiness of celebrating an ending purely for its own sake. Overall, With A Bang is booty-shakin’, gothic western twang tune that satirizes the tendency to glamorize endings instead of what may be a somber or reflective moment. It serves as a reminder to approach endings with humility and sincerity.”
Everybody’s Famous is a sonic exploration of expressing optimistic nihilism and radical authenticity as we tread into a brave new world. Alex quips the album resembles “a wrestling match with one’s ego.” It represents a story about finding one’s true self amidst the chaos, continuing to create through the chaos while learning how to wield the energy of the changing tides instead of swimming against it – and letting it destroy you. Alex will use art as a weapon for peaceful rebellion inspired by his interactions with the world, channeled through song. Audiences can expect melodic rock tunes ready for both solo listening and the dance floor, filled with ironic humour to highlight social issues with a satirical dimension.
