Following the announcement of his upcoming fifth studio album, The Alexander Technique, and his double single release, ‘Alexander’ and ‘Guitar Song’, chart-topping English musician Rex Orange County unveils his four-date residency at The London Palladium. Tickets go on general sale on Friday 26th July.
Kicking off on Sunday 16th February 2025, Rex will take over the legendary London Palladium for an eagerly awaited four-night run in celebration of his upcoming album, The Alexander Technique, due out on 6th September via Columbia UK / RCA Records. Rex will embark on a North American Headline Tour this October, which includes eight dates at The Orpheum in LA.
The Alexander Technique was produced entirely by Rex himself alongside Teo Halm (Rosalía, SZA, Beyoncé) and Jim Reed, the latter a member of the Rex Orange County touring band since its inception, in addition to James Blake who produced and features on “Look Me In The Eyes.”
The Alexander Technique is named for a therapeutic practice in which back pain is treated in order to address deeper health problems, and it’s an apt name for Rex's most raw album to date: what may have begun as a simple exercise in changing the purview of his writing ended up becoming his most confessional, open-hearted album. Stripping back his sound to a skeletal mixture of stream-of-consciousness R&B and indie-folk, while retaining the orchestral lushness that’s become his trademark, The Alexander Technique marks the beginning of Act Two of Rex Orange County's career: a new chapter on which he lays everything bare, no matter how painful that might be.
“The Alexander Technique is very much a look into my own brain and experiences over the last few years – it’s almost a diary,” he says. Longer than any project he’s ever made and more musically varied, The Alexander Technique was made over a matter of years, started before and finished after 2022’s chart-topping album WHO CARES?; listening to it feels like watching an artist grow in real-time, and face all the attending growing pains that come alongside. “I’ve made a lot of love songs over the years, and I feel as though this is the first time I’m trying to make a project about everything in life. In my mind, it’s exactly what I’ve always wanted to make.”
