“Teenage joy personified” – The Fader

“Rex Orange County is the vibrant and vulnerable songwriter his generation needs… his star potential is unrivalled” – NME

“…Lo-fi but always soulful guitar music, with melancholy, nostalgic melodies of his sung-rap lyrics about teenage life.” – Pitchfork

20-year old prodigy REX ORANGE COUNTY is one of the most effortlessly cool new talents to come out of the UK in the past 12-months. Today, he reveals hotly anticipated debut Australian headline dates; taking in an all ages show at Sydney’s Metro Theatre on Tuesday 5th February 2019; plus Melbourne’s 170 Russell on Wednesday 6th February.

Premiering on Annie Mac’s Radio 1 show as her Hottest Record, REX ORANGE COUNTY’s breakout single, ‘Loving Is Easy’, is a dreamy pop gem that has taken the world by storm; recently performed on ‘The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon’.

Already two albums in, Rex offers up sweeping alternative lo-fi pop that has been embraced locally by triple j and tastemakers around the world. He has appeared on songs by TYLER, THE CREATOR, performed in FRANK OCEAN’s live band and shared the stage with SKEPTA at the 2017 Mercury Prize. His most recent collaboration is a take on Randy Newman’s classic, ‘You’ve Got A Friend In Me’, featuring Newman himself and retaining the “same warm, easy-going feel” as the original (SPIN).

A star on the rise, REX ORANGE COUNTY is your new favourite artist and won’t be playing small rooms for long.
