Album Review: Alexander Biggs - Still You Sharpen Your Teeth

"Reflects the bright and frankly beautiful future ahead."

Following the release of his catchy single Figure It Out, Alexander Biggs is set to cement his spot in the Australian folk scene with his well-crafted debut EP, Still You Sharpen Your Teeth.

With a focus on undulating textures, the album hosts honest vocals closely accompanied by thoughtful lyrics and mellow acoustic guitar rhythms, quietly interrupted by pleasant, melodic ideas that invite the mind to wander. New York is a slower track that simply pieces together "the passages of time", as relatable as it is melancholy through Alexander's comforting sense of the world.

This soft, hopeful EP reflects this talented singer-songwriter's bright and frankly beautiful future, as he genuinely converses with an audience that's lucky to have him. A relaxing escape.
