Listening to ‘pocket protector’, the latest single from Alexander Biggs has reminded me just how good he is. I’m not sure whether it’s just new song euphoria talking, but this beautiful understated piano ballad might just be his best yet.
The lyrics, which explore the conflict in a relationship between two people with contrasting lifestyles, are so bittersweet. And then there’s that deceptively simple piano melody which just sweeps you away as it builds to a sonic crescendo. I could not love this more.
Alexander is currently in Austin for SXSW, but hopefully it won’t be too long before he’s back home treating us all to more music of this calibre.
