LAHEY, ALEX
I LOVE YOU LIKE A BROTHER (DEAD OCEANS)
Alex Lahey's debut full-length, I Love You Like A Brother, comes fresh off the back of her breakout in 2016 when her "You Don't Think You Like People Like Me" single was inescapable, landing her a spot in Australian radio network triple j's prestigious Hottest 100 of 2016, a Best New Track nod from Pitchfork, and helping her to earn "Artist To Watch" status from Stereogum.
The song's universal tale of rejection took Lahey global - its message, she says, is the flipside of the usual break-up scenario: "Yeah, you're right.
It's not me. It IS you." And that no-shit-taken attitude is the backbone of I Love You Like A Brother.
From the stomping title track "I Love You Like A Brother" to the gently moving "Money," Lahey's debut long-player tells it like it is.
