DOWNLOAD: Alex Wilson - "In the Morning"

November 24, 2011/ RPM

18-year-old Alex Wilson from the Oglala Sioux Lakota tribe may be young, but he finds his musical inspiration in such established artists as Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel. His melodic pop/rock is backed by sub-bass organs, gospel choirs and waves of drums while his vocals carry a raw strength above the layered accompaniment. And these are just his demos! Alex sent us this track to check out and we're excited to see what else this young artist continues to create. DOWNLOAD: Alex Wilson - "In the Morning"
