“Recalls the magic pop purity of Arthur Russell… its minimalism manages to feel enlightened and transformative.” -Pitchfork
“Lushly arranged pop songs, the listener can tie and untie Steinbrink’s vivid and unrelated images into something meaningful” -NPR
“Melodic and self-assured. Steinbrink delivers his knotted lyricism with a smooth lilt.” -Stereogum
Lexie
Lexie was formed in the fall of 2016, after Frankie Cosmos and Warehouse went on tour together. Greta Kline (of Frankie Cosmos) and Alex Bailey (of Warehouse) began co-writing songs over email. The night before their first show, while driving home from practice (with drummer Doug Bleichner), they called up Carlos Hernandez (of Gravesend Recordings) and asked to come by his studio - on a whim, they recorded "Record Time!" in a couple hours. Lexie continues to write new music and play live over the years, but has preserved the magic of an easygoing "side project."
