Alexa Rose - Atmosphere (2025) [Hi-Res]

Alexa Rose's album, Atmosphere, was re-conceived after Hurricane Helene forced her to strip back the studio sheen and return to basics, reflecting her direct upbringing in the Allegheny Highlands of Virginia, where music is a way of life. Rose "stripped down" the tracks to feel "truer," believing in the strength of her roots. This sparsity, such as the solitary guitar on the opening track "Atmosphere," creates an enchanting atmosphere. The songs on the album are about trying to learn to live again and being more present in the moment, finding beauty in simple solutions, like the comfort of an embrace ("Arms"). Tracks like "Anywhere, Ohio" convey a sense of home, blending themes of grief, terror, joy, and hope in modern existence. The album's overall message, best captured in "Where the Magic Lives," is the importance of finding magic, peace, and humanity in the world, urging people to run toward dreams and each other, and to find joy in questions rather than rushing to find the answer.
