Alex Starling has circled the musical firmament for the last decade.

He was integral to the early successes of Ou Est Le Swimming Pool, before the untimely death of their lead singer, Charlie Haddon in 2010. Then, with his course altered immeasurably, he undertook solo shows headlining in Germany and the U.S., before forming The Ghosts, spectres of ethereal synth pop. Architects of inspiration and melancholy.

His voice is a mirror to the hopeful and the macabre, as clear as crystal-cut glass, but with a remarkable softness, like memories of dreams and drunkenness, or the comforting words of a friend in a dark room.

A brand new solo EP was released in October 2019.
