Lex Walton (née Alex) is an American songwriter, actress, prose poet, and filmmaker whose work is defined by an unflinching confessionality and live performances by ecstatic masochism and flailing. In addition to her catalog of a dozen or so mostly home-recorded albums, EPs and singles, she has also recorded collaborations with Devi McCallion (Black Dresses, Girls Rituals), Geese, and Ezra Furman, written the pop music manifesto The Sound Rocker’s Prayer, and starred as lead character “Circle” in Louise Weard’s five-hour epic film Castration Movie Anthology II: The Best Of Both Worlds.

She released her unwavering and iconoclastic seven-song label debut, ULTIMATE LOVE FOREVER, on August 26 via Sub Pop. All songs on ULTIMATE LOVE FOREVER were written by Lex Walton, produced by Lex and Dan Boeckner (Wolf Parade), recorded, mixed, and mastered by Ben Greenberg at Thump and Circular Ruin in Williamsburg, with assistant engineer Alice Cohen.

ULTIMATE LOVE FOREVER features guest appearances from Boeckner (Wolf Parade, Handsome Furs), Emerson Borakove, Alice Cohen, Brendan Dunphy, Emily Green (Geese), Greenberg (Uniform, The Men), Scotty Malcolm, Sarah Neufeld (Arcade Fire), and Sam Revaz (Geese)

Pitchfork scored the album an 8.3: “Earnest and disaffected, ironic and confrontational, the Brooklyn songwriter’s Sub Pop debut channels trans rage into scrappy DIY punk with no patience left.”
