Alex Neilson Special

Alex Neilson / Trembling Bells Special

Alex Rex is the nom de guerre of Alex Neilson
The recent release of his 3rd (brilliant) solo album Andromeda, triggered this trip down the prolific highways of one of our finest songsmiths.

From a grounding in the free improv scene, a love of folk, psychedelics and the dark side.
Influences ranging from Arthur Rimbaud to Lou Reed, Beefheart to Dennis Potter
Alex, has navigated through half a dozen Trembling Bells albums and the Rex trilogy, and is now firmly established as a lyricist of the highest order.

With more than a sideways nod to Lavinia Blackwall, Trembling Bells, Bonnie Prince Billy, Death Shanties, Richard Youngs, Kan Mikami, Mike Heron & Black Flowers.
