Charleston singer, songwriter, and guitarist Pierce Alexander will release his new single, “Midnight Walk,” on September 2nd. It’s the musician’s first release since his debut album, The Minutehand, which came out in February. 

According to Alexander, “Midnight Walk” opens up a window into the life of a narrator who is attempting to pick up the pieces of a broken marriage.

“I have a fascination with putting myself in other people’s shoes and coming up with these semi-fictional stories,” Alexander said. “It sometimes gets so intense that I start to feel like I really am going through the scenarios.”

The song was recorded and produced by Charlie Kendall and included some unorthodox recording techniques. As a way of getting Alexander out of his head, some of the early vocal takes were recorded while standing on top of a ladder. According to Alexander, Kendall even had him perform a few songs in public places shortly before tracking to avoid overthinking.

“We didn’t really overthink anything on this song and I think it shows kind of a new and maybe more raw side to my music that people probably aren’t as used to hearing,” Alexander said.

You can soon stream the new song on all platforms. You can pre-save the single here. You can also catch Alexander at Lo Fi Brewing on Friday, October 7th with Deep Sea Peach and Katie Sachs.
