Alex Izenberg Releases New Album 'I'm Not Here'

Today marks the release of I’m Not Here, the junior full-length album from Alex Izenberg. A collection of beguiling love songs, tender heartache, despair and confusion, I’m Not Here lays Alex bare, heart on his sleeve, and serves as a peek into the mind of one of LA’s most enigmatic songwriters.

To mark its release, Alex has shared a technicolor, animated video for song “Our Love Remains,” the centerpiece to the ten-track long player. To bring the song to life, Alex recruited Dave Longstreth—the principal force behind the Dirty Projectors—who composed and arranged strings and woodwinds for several of the album’s tracks.

Alex on “Our Love Remains”: 
“This song was a way of making a light shine in the mere darkness of 21st century life.”

Album | 20th May 2022

Like his debut, 2016’s homespun Harlequin, and its ambitious 2020 follow-up Caravan Château, Alex Izenberg’s new album I’m Not Here inhabits the shaggy, world-weary mode of artists like Harry Nilsson, John Lennon, Randy Newman, and Lou Reed. 

With the help of producer Greg Hartunian, and swelling string and woodwind arrangements courtesy of Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth, Alex manages a paradoxical and visionary trick: he disappears completely while simultaneously revealing more of himself than ever before.
