Alexa & the Old-Fashioneds' Announces New Indie Pop Single, ‘Smoke’
Get Your Ears Ready: Alexa & the Old-Fashioneds' "Smoke" (Out April 24) to Set Musical Tone for a Full 2026 Release Schedule
MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, April 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A band seeking to avoid being boxed in by a genre, Alexa & the Old-Fashioneds is releasing their first single of the year, "Smoke," on Friday, April 24, 2026 at midnight.
Written by award-winning vocalist and songwriter Alexa Lash, "Smoke" is about life, death, and friendship, telling the story of loss through imagery of hotel pools and fire smoke. "Can you feel the smoke in your lungs?" Lash asks the question of her audience, giving the listener a chance to think over what they value in life. It's about this continuing sense of feeling like you're running out of time, a theme Lash grapples with in a lot of her personal releases as well.
"I wrote this song within a few days of a lot difficult things going on in my world," Lash recalls. "An apartment fire next door. Having to relocate for a time because of that. And then finding out a friend of mine passed away as I was dealing with the aftermath of the fire. It was surreal. Writing this song felt surreal. Hearing the lyrics even now feels surreal."
"Smoke" exists as both a memory and a dedication.
"Smoke" is the first of multiple releases set to come out this year, with an album set for release in December. While all of the songs will have their own style, "Smoke" has a more pop-indie feel that adds another layer to the Alexa & the Old-Fashioneds' sound, following the sentimental release of "A Miami Holiday" and the murderous themes of their "Witches, Wolves, and Murder" EP. This band is one to keep your eyes (and ears) on. The song is available now to pre-save. But you can check out their current music on all platforms by visiting their Linktree, including Lash's favorites, "Murder in the Basement" and "Witch in Disguise."
About the Band
Alexa & the Old-Fashioneds have made a name for themselves through their 90s'-esque, genre-defying approach to songwriting—merging poetry with modern pop, rock, and experimenting with genres outside the expected. It's never about the style of music, so much about Lash's legend-making vocals, playing frontwoman to a ridiculously powerful rhythm section and sweet, melodic guitar solos...and telling a heartfelt story. "Smoke" is another gem from a band that is never quite what you expect them to be.
Musicians & Artists Behind the Music
"Smoke" features Alexa & the Old-Fashioneds members including: vocals and rhythm guitar by Alexa Lash; lead guitar by Marcel Salas; bass guitar and backing vocals by Carlos Marcano Garcia; and drums by Jonathan Colorado. Ferny Coipel, who has been working with Lash since 2019, produced, engineered, and provided the twelve-string additions, at Shack North in Hialeah, FL.
The song was mastered by Zach Ziskin. And the cover and accompanying art was designed by artist, Isa Martinez.
