Alex Lahey - I Love You Like A Brother

I Love You Like A Brother is the debut studio album by Australian singer-songwriter Alex Lahey, released in October 2017 via Nicky Boy Records in Australia and Dead Oceans Records in the US.

Alex Lahey announced herself to the world in 2016 with her debut EP B-Grade University. The EP saw the Melbourne singer-songwriter catapulted into popularity with fans and critics alike. Pitchfork, Brooklyn Vegan, Rolling Stone, Sterogum all got on board as she scored spots on festival bills from SXSW to Splendour.

In October 2017, she has released her debut studio album I Love You Like A Brother, and with it, the first single, “Every Day’s The Weekend”.

Sarah Smith from Rolling Stone Australia reviewed the album as follows: “…Your early 20s are about making mistakes. Lahey spends much of her debut LP untangling bad decisions and battling ennui. She does so in such a tricky fashion, it’s easy to mistake these wry observations for love songs. “You make double-vision bad decisions/but that’s OK with me,” Lahey tells a noxious lover on “Backpack”, effervescent synths transforming her over-driven guitar pop into something more anthemic. The title track packs a tighter punch, Lahey’s lyrics delivered Ramones-like over a simple garage riff, while “There’s No Money” sprawls itself out over dreamy layers of guitar. It’s these new shades that make Lahey’s debut compelling…”

Check out the tracks:  “Every Day's A Weekend”; “I Haven't Been Taking Care Of Myself”; “Lotto In Reverse”; and “I Love You Like A Brother”.
