专辑简介

Through the release of key singles This Haunting and Warned, constant touring and appearances at Australia's biggest festivals, Alex Watts has been earning a reputation as both one of the country's most exciting songwriters and as a enigmatic and highly entertaining performer. Backed by his band the Foreign Tongue, Watts’ unique blend of rock, pop and folk draws from the wit of Elvis Costello, the swagger of Joe Strummer, and the grit and raw emotion of 1960’s r’n’b. This is songwriter-driven pop music at it's best - intelligent, energetic, and uplifting.

The power of the internet has resulted in a unique collaboration between the Melbourne quartet and Lars Rosenblad, a beatmaker from Karlsted, Sweden. Rosenblad's was the winning entry in a remixing competition held for the band's 2013 single, Warned. The result is a meeting of styles that remains true to the song's emotional content whilst placing it in an entirely different musical setting. Freed from the live band backing of the original track, Rosenblad's synthesisers and drum loops give Watts' vocals the space to breath, opening the song up and taking it in a direction that is as surprising as it is powerful.
