REX ORANGE COUNTY RELEASES NEW SINGLE "2008" PERFORMS ON JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! THIS FRIDAY NEW ALBUM THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE OUT THIS FRIDAY VIA RCA RECORDS

Rex Orange County by Clare Shilland The Alexander Technique  PRE-SAVE: https://roc.lnk.to/TheAlexanderTechnique ORDER: https://ROC.lnk.to/xStore “2008”  LISTEN: https://ROC.lnk.to/2008 (September 4, 2024) - Rex Orange County shares new single "2008" ahead of this Friday's release of his new album The Alexander Technique. The song marks the 4th taste of Rex's forthcoming album and will be performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! this coming Friday. "2008" is representative of The Alexander Technique as a whole -- Rex's most unencumbered body of work to date, produced entirely by Rex himself alongside Teo Halm (Rosalía, SZA, Beyoncé) and Jim Reed, the latter a member of the Rex Orange County touring band since its inception. The Alexander Technique is named for a therapeutic practice in which back pain is treated to address deeper health problems, and it’s an apt name for Rex's most raw album to date: what may have begun as a simple exercise in changing the purview of his writing ended up becoming his most confessional, open-hearted album. Stripping back his sound to a skeletal mixture of stream-of-consciousness R&B and indie-folk, while retaining the orchestral lushness that’s become his trademark, The Alexander Technique marks the beginning of Act Two of Rex Orange County's career: a new chapter on which he lays everything bare, no matter how painful that might be.  “The Alexander Technique is very much a look into my own brain and experiences over the last few years – it’s almost a diary,” he says. Longer than any project he’s ever made and more musically varied, The Alexander Technique was made over a matter of years, started before and finished after 2022’s WHO CARES?; listening to it feels like watching an artist grow in real-time, and face all the attending growing pains that come alongside. “I’ve made a lot of love songs over the years, and I feel as though this is the first time I’m trying to make a project about everything in life. In my mind, it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted to make.” The album will be followed by tours across North America and the UK in which Rex has crafted a theatrical stage show that will allow him to bring The Alexander Technique to life across multiple performances in iconic venues in nearly every market on the tour.
