British pop star Alex O'Connor took a seat behind the tiny desk to perform four stripped-down renditions from his latest record, Pony.
Rex was joined by bandmates Johnny Woodham: trumpet, Michael Underwood: flute, piano and saxophone, Jim Reed: drums, Joe Arksey: guitar and Darryl Dodoo: bass. The band kicked things off with his popular hit, ‘Loving Is Easy’ followed by ‘Pluto Projector’, ‘Always’, and ‘Sunflower’.
Read our revealing interview with bedroom-pop maestro Rex Orange County here. Where he talks about his hit album Pony, toxic masculinity, wrestling with self-doubt, and how he learned to deal with pressure - kind of.
