Xanthe Alexis - The Offering (2020)

Whether she’s guiding patients to recovery as a trauma therapist or transporting
audiences to transcendence as an acclaimed indie artist, Xanthe Alexis has devoted her life to healing others, and her extraordinary new album, ‘The Offering’ , is no exception. Recorded in Alexis’s adopted hometown of Colorado Springs, the record pairs soaring melodies with lush, hypnotic soundscapes as it grapples with anxiety and strength, worry and comfort, heartbreak and hope. Hinting at everything from Angel Olsen and Sharon Van Etten to Julien Baker and Feist, it’s a deeply compassionate, unflinchingly honesty collection, one that finds Alexis baring her most vulnerable self in
a timely and much-needed act of radical empathy and connection. Tastemaker Seattle NPR station KEXP ran a Q&A, calling out her “transcendent vocals.”
