What are we to make of the world? In many ways, the title New Fragility perfectly sums up our collective state of unease and anxiety, but it's particularly apt for singer songwriter Alec Ounsworth.
Over dreamy guitar licks and a driving beat, the Portland-based artist crafts a patchwork of psychedelia, pop hooks, and lyrics dosed in magical realism.
On the project, the first-generation Mexican-American singer fluidly channels elements of jazz, R&B, funk, alternative, soul and pop music through his own lens, cementing his stance as one of 2019's breakout stars.
