\"\"<\/a>Having spent the last 5 years living and working in the UK, Australia’s pop maestro, ALEX LLOYD<\/strong> returns home to Australia with a brand new single and accompanying video coinciding with the launch of a Pledge Campaign to complete the release of his sixth studio album titled Urban Wilderness<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alex’s last musical journey was the collaborative soundtrack effort with WA’s widely respected Pigram Brothers <\/strong>for the stunning, critically lauded (and indigenous themed) film, Mad Bastards<\/em><\/strong>. Scoring 5 Star reviews, awards & acclaim, Alex returned to Australia to tour a live version of the soundtrack with The Pigram Brothers<\/strong> in 2010 resulting in sold out shows nationwide.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2013, Alex now announces a crowd funding campaign via Pledge Music to complete his latest album project providing a platform for him to directly communicate with his fans alongside a stack of exclusives on offer.<\/p>\n

With the launch of the Pledge Music campaign comes Alex’s first single release from Urban Wilderness<\/em><\/strong> – the upbeat pop sing-a-long gem, Better The Less You Know<\/em>. Starring a huge cast of over 100 random ‘performers’ on location in London and Sydney, it’s certainly been a while since we’ve seen this many smiling faces in the space of three minutes!<\/p>\n

Describing the concept for the video, Alex said \u201cMy idea for this video was very simple \u2026 grab an iPod and a set of headphones and head out into the wilderness and simply document the reactions of people listening to the song. I enlisted the help of musician and actor, Israel Cannan (and a few of Israel\u2019s mates who are handy with a camera) to get the job done. My initial concern was that it would not work but after seeing the end result I was more than pleasantly surprised and find myself loving the idea of two vastly different urbanisations being one<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

And right now, here’s our imaginary drum roll as we present the first single and video Better The Less You Know<\/em>! Check it out right here<\/p>\n
