John sits down with Rex Orange County and producers Jim Reed and Teo Halm, to talk about how he wrote and recorded his latest album ‘The Alexander Technique’. 

Alex O’Connor, better known as Rex Orange County, is an English singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Teaching himself music production at 16 years old, within a year he released his debut album ‘Bcos U Will Never B Free’. Since then, Alex has been consistently releasing successful music, including his fourth album, ‘Who Cares?’, which became his first to top the UK album charts, alongside platinum-certified hits like ‘Sunflower’, ‘Best Friend’, and ‘Loving Is Easy’. 

In conversation with Rex and his producers, Jim Reed and Teo Halm, they dig into the creative process behind his new album, sharing original demos, discussing the plugins that shaped the album, and demonstrating how some synthesizer parts were created using Teo’s iPhone.

Tracks discussed: Guitar Song, 2008, Much Too Much

Like many other Tape Notes fans probably, I consume this kind of content here and in other channels compulsively and I am sure Alex’s take on how to finish an old track (discipline, deadlines) is the most transparent, honest, realistic and useful piece of advice I have heard about this issue. Great show guys!
