Alex Winston – Careless (JD Samson Remix)

Alex Winston will tour the USA this June in in support of her forthcoming sophomore album, out this summer on 300 Entertainment. When she hits the road with her friends in Neon Trees in a few months, fans lucky enough to catch Winston live will get a taste of the impressive performances she brought to this year’s SXSW.

In Austin, SPIN observed the “sure-to-be-pop-sensation” as she “slashed, clawed, and wailed through a set of deceptively sweet power jams,” and Idolator caught one of her “killer sets”, leaving them enchanted with the way Winston “worked the stage with fire.” In conjunction with the tour announcement Winston is releasing the JD Samson remix of her single “Careless”. “Alex Winston makes the kind of big, meticulously crafted pop songs that sound anthemic without coming across as soulless.”- Stereogum

Winston has already garnered praise for her latest work on the strength of “Careless”, Which Stereogum glowingly lauded as “superb” while Grantland emphatically endorsed as “the score you’d want were you about to hang glide off a cliff.” While the more personal nature of her recent work is certainly a thematic departure from the material found on her most previous album King Con, the shift is also indicative of Winston’s maturation as a musician and songwriter who finds herself more confident than ever in her own self expression.

Winston has spent the past year anchorless as she bounced back and forth between New York, LA, Detroit, and spaces in between while working on her new album. “I really like meeting new people and hearing their stories,” she explains, “I think that’s why I like traveling a lot.” That restless curiosity has been a constant driver and source of creative energy for the young but seasoned musician. This last month Winston bought that verve into the studio with producer Catherine Marks (whose credits include PJ Harvey, Death Cab for Cutie, and Interpol), while she put the final touches on her forthcoming album.

Stay posted in the coming weeks for further news and album release date information.
