Alex McMahon is a multi-instrumentalist from Albuquerque New Mexico specializing in a sound that radiates high-desert rust and lo-fi vulnerability. 

As an album, WCW serves as a conduit, conversation and departure. Instead of relying so much on classic song construction, the poems of William Carlos Williams offer an interpretable framework to be fleshed out in a uniquely un-americana way. What began for McMahon as a simple exercise of what-ifs morphed into a warbly stream of consciousness that echoes the old Albuquerque sound which is the glue and plaster that Alex works with. Recorded primarily at his house and amalgamated remotely by a few conspirators, the album defies genre, presenting itself as a localized biome of tape machines and battery powered keyboards.

Featuring cameos by Meredith Wilder, Kendall Jones, Matthew Tobias, Ry Warner and CJ Burnett, WCW stands on its own as both a gateway to and interpretation of the evolving, multifaceted dimensions found in this timeless poetry. Each song is bridged to the next in noise-laden, disjointed 4-track remnants - keeping momentum and transporting the listener through time and space like a cosmic web. Some songs are simple and sonically undisturbed, while others have been reworked and degraded time and again, forming textures reminiscent of old stucco or painted canvas, awash in desert sunlight and faded neon.

Alex McMahon has been a staple in the New Mexico music scene for over a decade, most notably as one half of the instrumental duo Gral Brothers, and as a touring and recording collaborator with The Handsome Family. He has played on numerous albums by artists such as Sidney Abernathy, Drunken Prayer, AJ Woods, Golden Boots, Cody Ryan, Red Mesa, Natural Lite, and Italian songwriter Don Antonio to name a few. WCW is his first full length solo album.
