Singer-songwriter Lexytron has made a video for Stone Cold, a track from her Something New album. Work on the song began a couple of years ago during a stay in Sweden, when she had to walk home at night, after all means of transport had ceased to run, and it was -20℃. She put the finished touches on the song with her husband Mike Grice
HCTF review of Something New
Lexytron has made a video for Another Lover, a track from her Something New album: "[She] can never write a simple love song, because his sardonic wit gets in the way. That is a good thing, because songs about happy couples are fucking boring." Mickey Mouse's Haunted House is now in the public domain, so she could use it without the Disney lawyers banging on her door for copyright infringement.
HCTF review of Something New
Watch the new Lexytron video for Every Little Thing, a track from her Something New album: "She picks at scabs, points out flaws and the crossed wires during those "we have to talk" moments. Every Little Thing is special in this case, but that is because everything is fine in the early days of a relationship."
HCTF review of Something New
Anglo-Greco-Persian singer Lexytron can never write a simple love song, because his sardonic wit gets in the way. That is a good thing, because songs about happy couples are fucking boring. On the tracks on her Something New album, she picks at scabs, points out flaws and the crossed wires during those "we have to talk" moments. Every Little Thing is special in this case, but that is because everything is fine in the early days of a relationship.
Her knack for writing upbeat sounding pop songs, plus her training as a classical violinist, enables her catchy melodies that are actually quite complex, with the orchestrated Your Love and Is It Because? as the prime examples of her craft. She reached out to fellow vocalists from all to add an extra layer of empowerment, with each of them bringing their A-game to turn a song into a dancefloor filler.
Anglo-Greco-Persian singer Lexytron has come up with a witty, tongue-in-cheek, funky single. Disco Jenny is an upbeat passive-agressive invitation to bust some moves, a floor filler for people who actually give a fuck about the lyrics. Guitar and trumpet team up to bring it to a close that comes way to soon. It is the second taste from her forthcoming album Something New, due for release on September 5
After five years Anglo-Greco-Persian singer Lexytron is back with a new single, Kiss Me Quick, a left-field pop song drenched in droning synths. Her sense of humour is still there, as she mixes a bit of sardonic wit into a track that is part love song and part empowerment. As a trained classical violinist and pianist she is able to create mesmerizing soundscapes, something she already hinted at on her debut album Something Blue.
When Lexytron started recording the songs for her debut album Something Blue she was living in Manchester, but about half way she packed up her things and moved to Auckland in New Zealand. The new environment did not change her outlook on life that much and her "alternative girl's guide to love, loss and lust" is a coherent psych-pop album, upbeat with razor-sharp observations about in being your early twenties: lovers walking out, betrayal, feeling lonely when the world is dancing around and of course the Couples parading their new found happiness in front of her eyes.
Her training as a classical violinist and pianist came in handy and there are plenty of bits and pieces in her songs that get the listener on the wrong foot in a good way. Check the intricate arrangements for The Veil Of Veronica and In The Box. Lexytron has found her voice on the first try, a debut that is filled to the rafters with talent and a sardonic sense of humour.
Manchester-born indie singer Lexytron now lives in New Zealand and headed out to the beach to make the video for Blue, his first proper love song that appears to end well, although she could not resists a bit of wordplay. It is a track from her debut album Something Blue, scheduled for release on March 20 via Persian Punk Records.
HCTF review of Tell The Vein.
Manchester-born indie singer Lexytron goes full-on passionate power pop on her new single Tell The Vein, a plea for a gatekeeper of sorts to keep mishaps, heartbreak and grief. There is quite a lot of going on musically, with a Cure-alike bass part popping up, intricate background vocals, and a short and sweet electric guitar coda. The video was directed and produced by Michael Grice.
Watch the new Lexytron video for Couples. She used footage from the classic silent movie The Cook, directed by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and featuring Buster Keaton and Al St. John. "Couples can be a tiresome for those who are going it alone and it gets under her skin in a big way: "The sound of your own feet as you're walking down the street, you're hearing couples // Couples kissing on the metro, say 'I miss you' or won't let go, you see couples // The vision of division is reminding you that you should see it double // The bakery has a birthday cake with two birds on the top and they're a couple"."
Manchester-born indie pop singer Lexytron moved to Auckland recently, which might explain the delay for releasing a new single. Moving down under hasn't changed her critical outlook on life, once more taking a scalpel to things she gets mad about by way of music. Couples can be a tiresome for those who are going it alone and it gets under her skin in a big way: "The sound of your own feet as you're walking down the street, you're hearing couples // Couples kissing on the metro, say 'I miss you' or won't let go, you see couples // The vision of division is reminding you that you should see it double // The bakery has a birthday cake with two birds on the top and they're a couple".
Manchester based singer Lexytron added a bit of New Wave to her Sixties psychedelic pop leanings to tell the world about her fond memories of falling in love, quite a different mood that was the driving force for her previous singles Black Mail and I'm Not A Disco. It was no bed of roses however, and looking back on it she has some second thoughts as well.
Lexytron, Manchester based singer with a soft spot for Sixties psychedelic pop, has three "Live and Acoustic" shows coming up. Herr latest single I'm Not A Disco is about "having fun while dancing on the ruins of a relationship [which] is always a good idea. And it's cheaper than booze, drugs or therapy".
Manchester based singer Lexytron gets even with an ex on her new single I'm Not Disco. She describes it as "a feel good slice of female empowered electropop", which is pretty accurate. Also: having fun while dancing on the ruins of a relationship is always a good idea. And it's cheaper than booze, drugs or therapy.
Lexytron is a Manchester based singer with a soft spot for Sixties psychedelic pop. Her single Blackmail is a tongue-in-cheek love written from the perspective of the Devil, a character known to have excellent taste in music. Plenty of innuendo on this carefully orchestrated song - her training as a classical violinist and pianist came in handy - and a powerful statement about sexual independence. Michael Grice (City Reign) got her back playing guitar.
