"Full of grief, romantic anguish, but twinkly as well" Uncut
"Gothic pop noir reminiscent of Nick Cave" Q Magazine
"Even in its extremities Andromeda is beautiful, Neilson's wild talents unfurling,
aching with life" Mojo
'It freewheels wantonly and earnestly from noise chug to trad country to
towering goth ballad' Record Collector
Singing drummers may now be in vogue, but very few combine the masterful musicianship, vivid lyrics and expressive vocals one experiences with Alex Rex. In fact, few musicians have a CV as impressive as band leader Alex Neilson. He’s drummed with some of the most eclectic musicians of the international underground; from Bonnie "Prince" Billy to Shirley Collins, Jandek and Current 93. All on top of a 10-year stint with his own critically acclaimed psych-folk outfit, Trembling Bells.
