Alex (she/her) is one of many transplants drawn to Denver's music scene and high altitude. She gets down to everything from Mannequin Pussy to Lee Moses; Japanese Breakfast to Sloppy Jane; Gustaf to Francoise Hardy. Her intention in writing is simple yet mind-numbing in practice — capture the feelings experienced through music in print. Write it down. Make it sound just as heartbreaking as that one chord in that one song (you know the one). Alex started her journalism career writing about human rights for her local college paper, continued on to edit arts and culture magazines and found her footing in music writing. The rest is history.
