Alex Izenberg announces his debut full band release, Alex Izenberg & The Exiles

The core of the band is Izenberg’s childhood friend and primary collaborator, multi-instrumentalist Greg Hartunian. The pair co-produced the record at Tropico Beauty in Glendale, California, where they let the songs carve out their own paths, building from Izenberg’s intensive, months-long writing process.

They soon let an array of collaborators into the conversation, including drummer Jay Rudolph (Weyes Blood), keyboardist Tyler Cash (Devendra Banhart), bassist Max Whipple (Sparks), pedal steel guitarist Connor Gallaher (Lana Del Rey), saxophonist Colin Kupka, guitarist Dashiell Le Francis, and vocalists Marina Allen, Juliana Giraffe, Gracie Jackson, and Colby Nathan, all accompanied by string arrangements from Izenberg and Cynthia Tolson (MUNA).
