Lexytron's Return with Alt-Pop Anthem ‘Kiss Me Quick’

John & Yoko. Jack and Meg. Now, Lexy & Mike - the creatively offbeat English husband-and-wife duo making waves from their base in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland), New Zealand. Together, they form Lexytron, a genre-defying project that merges the eccentric with the emotive, the alternative with the accessible.

Following the boundary-blurring brilliance of her debut album Something Blue, frontwoman Lexy returns with Something New - a fresh chapter that sees her lean further into an electronic alt-pop rock palette, laced with sardonic wit, bold choruses, and the kind of painful honesty that’s become her unmistakable signature. Entirely self-produced in Auckland and finessed in London by producer Marco Meloni, the album is a raw yet polished reflection of Lexytron’s evolving sonic identity.

Cloaked in a fuzzy synthscape and driven by a pulsing emotional undercurrent, Kiss Me Quick is Lexytron at their most vulnerable — and their most defiant. There’s a delicious contradiction at play here: Lexy’s voice drips with longing, even as the track radiates alt-girl empowered pop energy. The vulnerability is never weakness; instead, it’s weaponised, wrapped up in shimmering layers of synth and sarcasm.

Much like her musical influences and kindred spirits in alternative pop, Lexy isn't afraid to confront the messiness of emotion, nor to dress it up in glittering choruses and infectious hooks. Kiss Me Quick is both a cry for intimacy and a stylish step into new sonic territory — proof that Lexytron continues to surprise, seduce, and subvert expectations.

With Something New, Lexytron aren't just evolving - they’re rewriting their own rulebook. And if Kiss Me Quick is anything to go by, it’s going to be one hell of a ride.
