Alex The Astronaut 'The Weird One' EP Launch

Alex the Astronaut is the ARIA-nominated, Sydney-based singer-songwriter who has toured the globe but famously never actually been to space. Alex’s signature blend of hyper-observant lyricism and infectious

melodies is uniquely Australian, so much so that their sophomore album, ‘How To Grow A Sunflower Underwater’ was once presented as an official diplomatic gift to New Zealand.

After a 4-year musical hiatus, Alex is returning to debut a bold new chapter. They spent their time away absorbing new creative dimensions, graduating from Cate Blanchett’s acting alma mater - NIDA - and expanding

their foundational story telling skills onto the screen with a starring role in the new medical drama 'The F Ward'. This creative rebirth takes shape in ‘The Weird One’, - an EP born from an unconventional, cross-continental hustle.

Every track was written entirely via Zoom, connecting Alex’s Sydney apartment with producer Jonathan Quarmby at London's legendary RAK Studios.The music directly reflects a period of grounded, everyday routine, and exposes

Alex’s gift for turning the mundane details of life into brilliant pop-folk poetry.

Alex wrote these songs while balancing shifts at a local music store and a children's hospital, a clash between corporate survival and artistic purity that also comes alive visually in a series of whimsical, wonderfully wacky music videos.

Fast forward to now, and Alex The Astronaut returns to live stages across the East Coast launching ‘The Weird One’ and the next chapter of their brilliant career!
