Alex Southey

Southey's immersive indie rock lives at the intersection of shoegaze and folk. By fusing these disparate genres together with cerebral, emotionally insightful songwriting he is one of the most interesting, endearing voices in this generation of Canadian musicians.

Southey began as a solo acoustic artist in 2019. With each subsequent release (2019's winter folk Christmastown LP, the 2020 bells-and-whistles follow-up You're Not Just A Body to Me LP, the 2021 simultaneously weighty and spry ...And the Country Stirred, its 2022 idiosyncratic, glitchy little brother My Nights On the Island EP, and finally with 2023's explosive, emotive Common Fantasies EP, Southey has developed an increasingly passionate fanbase, along with positive recognition, play, and or coverage from Domionated, Exclaim!, CBC Radio, Canadian Beats, Tinnitist, Sound Cafe, CHCH Morning Show, and a slew of Canadian college radio stations.
