For many music listeners, Alex Lahey arrived on their doorstep with no note and no explanation - just a twangy guitar and a brilliant pop song. For those that had been paying attention, though, the ascent of this underdog was a few years in the making . Having forged a name as one-seventh of Animeaux, Lahey was a seasoned performer and songwriter well before people thought they didn't like people like her. In the midst of a massive year - sell-out tours, festival appearances and the release of her debut album - Lahey breezed through her career in a fun, brisk chat. It starts with an atrocious surname pun (hi Thomo!) and ends with a sausage sizzle - as all great stories should.
Alex Lahey's debut album, I Love You Like a Brother, is out now.
