Alex Rex has today shared his new single Psychic Rome which is accompanied by a music video created by Tom Chick who has worked with Alex in the past. The single is being released via The Barne Society, an independent label based in Scotland which operates as a cottage industry, producing and releasing music via The Barne Studio.
Alex wrote that it: “…shares his interest in the corridor of time around the birth of Christ where the Roman Empire was at its most glorious and depraved. As Ted Hughes writes in his introduction to Ovid’s Metamorphosis ‘“’For all its Augustan stability, it was a sea of hysteria and despair. At one extreme wallowing in the bottomless appetites and sufferings of the gladiatorial arena, and at the other searching higher and higher for a spiritual transcendence.’ It also has a gnarly riff.”
Alex is joined by Rory Haye on guitar, Lavinia Blackwall on organ and Marco Rea on bass.
