With the success of his New York debut '4:05', Alex Lleo returns with his third Brooklyn instalment, 'Starve'. Evoking themes of dream chasing wanderlust, endless summers, and a quiet confidence for much needed change.

Before heading out to NY last autumn, Alex embarked on an extensive UK tour. Sharing stages with the likes of Matt Corby & Lief Vollebekk, bringing the summer to a close with a two part video series for Mahogany Sessions. Alex tied off his adventures with a debut headline show at London's famous St. Pancras Old Church, hosted by Communion Records.

A chance encounter saw Alex strive for new opportunities out in the bright lights of New York.

Explaining how this new record came to be, Alex said:

"It's crazy how a random Insta hashtag set the groundwork for this new project. After a busy 18 months, I became pretty drained in terms of creativity. Right around that time, I received a message from another Artist out in Brooklyn. Quinn (Devlin) explained that he'd caught my live performance of 'Calibrate' on a Sofar session I'd done earlier in the summer.

He told me about Dodge 112, a studio his friends had set up in downtown Brooklyn. He said if I could ever find a way out there, they'd be happy to help me out.

We continued to flesh out more arrangements over email, and I was introduced to the Studio chief & producer Sahil Ansari. Over the summer we kept a dialog going, forwarding more ideas & thinking about arrangements. By the time September came around, I'd gigged enough shows to get myself out there.

Five weeks and fifty sofas later, I feel we captured the honest sound I was so desperate for.

It's been such an inspiration to be involved with so many talented people surrounding Dodge and the BK scene. Having horn players like Willem De Koch from Fleet Foxes play on the record, just highlights the respect these guys have generated as musicians, and it's infectious! I couldn't be more excited for what these sounds have to offer. It's as if everyone involved could see straight into my minds eye!"
