Earlier this week, we were delighted to announce the incredible Alex Winston as the inaugural representative of the Unserene commonwealth of Bugovia in @plopvision. For your consideration, here are some of her favourite tracks of our delegation!
One of the things that most got us enrapt with Alex Winston& #39;s artistry was her tendency to write songs from unusual perspectives, like this track off her first full-length album about malaise in a polygamist cult: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzObsfboaJ0">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
The song selected by Bugovia is in a similar outré vein, talking about a disturbed person falling in love with a painting on Elvis on velvet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-zZkbcF4fA">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
We can& #39;t count the number of times we& #39;ve listened to the entirety of Alex& #39; début album, "King Con". In many songs, there& #39;s an interesting combination of upbeat music with unforgettable hooks paired with rather melancholy lyrics, like in this cri de coeur: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bJ0ldayP24">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Whilst Alex creates lush, multi-instrumental soundscapes, her songs also soar in stripped down situations, like this vulnerable and intimate acoustic take on 101 vultures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRVx-qqNWqo">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
Here in Bugovia, we also love the cinematic, thought-provoking and often unconventional videos that accompany her songs, like this one for the anthemic & #39;& #39;Careless& #39;& #39; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjppksDmjUs">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
We also love her writing style with a keen eye for interesting metaphors, like this song from last year comparing an unsatisfactory relationship to someone being merely a tourist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj1BWnxMPOc">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
We could list dozens of songs in this thread, but we& #39;ll leave it here and hope you enjoyed. ¡Viva Alex y viva Bugovia!
