A talented multi-instrumentalist with a voice reminiscent of Joanna Newsom, Lykke Li and PJ Harvey, Alex Winston is causing quite a stir in the pop world. Having recently headlined a NME Awards Show, signed to Island Records, Alex is now making serious waves in America – her video for last single ‘Locomotive’ was the number 1 most played video on Pitchfork TV.

Taken from her critically acclaimed mini album (of the same name), new single ‘Sister Wife’ – produced by New York whizz-kids The Knocks – will be released as a digital download on May 16th through Island Records. Ladyhawke has bestowed the honour of her first ever remix on Alex Winston; distorted synths and snapping percussion punctuate her take on ‘Sister Wife’. Moonlight Matters and the German producers Les Loups have also put their respective spins on the forthcoming single.

Hot UK producer Star Slinger’s remix adds punchy snares and wobbly synths whilst still letting Alex’s vocals shine through. A free download of the remix is available from www.rcrdlbl.com
