Alex Lahey writes the kind of guitar pop that sounds wry, a little frazzled and completely catchy. The Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, born in 1992, made her mark with the 2016 EP B-Grade University, whose "You Don't Think You Like People Like Me" and "Wes Anderson" announced a sharp voice with hooks to burn.
I Love You Like a Brother, her 2017 debut album, turned the volume and the stakes up. "Every Day's the Weekend" is a sugar-high singalong, and "I Haven't Been Taking Care of Myself" builds a fist-pumping anthem around a title that reads like a confession. The Best of Luck Club followed in 2019 and The Answer Is Always Yes in 2023, and her crunchy, full-throttle take on My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade" showed she could wear somebody else's melodrama just as comfortably.
She has become a sought-after collaborator, too, co-writing and producing for Maggie Lindemann, Gordi, Christian Lee Hutson, The Buoys and Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.
