Alex Banin - “Doc Whiler”
Alex Banin continues to carve sounds that highlight her soulful vocals and unique textures. The California-based creative achieves true quality-over-quantity artistry, a trait telling of her devotion to the craft, especially to the songs she releases. That's one of the many reasons why I'm always driven to listen. Her music is a product of time, emotion, and life experiences, packaged together for a few rare minutes that break from reality. Reciting this in one of her most captivating performances thus far, Alex Banin is back with "Doc Whiler."
The new release captures an emotional complexity of a failed relationship while Alex Banin embarks on a journey of self-reflection. She recounts sweet yet unrealistic expectations, ponders the idea of reuniting, and admits that feelings are still present. A freeing and infectious hook takes over, singing, "I got used to it, I don't cry," underscoring the numbness that comes with heartbreak. Sonically, this track builds from organic instrumentation and lively textures that pair precisely with Banin's intentionally fragile tone.
