Vancouver’s Alex Little Tackles Hooks, Hang-Ups & Head Games on New EP Conversations In My Head
Vancouver singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alex Little has spent much of her life immersed in music, developing a sound that blends the rebellious energy of punk rock with the infectious melodies of power pop and the eccentric charm of new wave. Raised in a creative household surrounded by the music of The Replacements, David Bowie, The Beatles, and Iggy Pop, Little was exposed to a wide range of influences from an early age. With drummer Taylor Little as her father and visual artist Pauline White as her mother, artistic expression was practically second nature. After picking up the drums in high school, she found her footing in Vancouver’s punk scene, performing with bands including Vapid before eventually stepping out from behind the kit to establish herself as a singer, songwriter, and frontperson. Drawing comparisons to Blondie, Buzzcocks, and The B-52’s, Little has developed a distinctive musical identity built around sharp hooks, restless energy, and a lyrical perspective that balances humor, vulnerability, and self-awareness.
Returning November 5 via Light Organ Records, Little’s three-song EP, Conversations in My Head, finds her turning anxiety, insecurity, and the exhausting nature of overthinking into infectious, guitar-driven anthems. Blending punchy punk instrumentation with irresistible new-wave melodies, the project embraces the strange contradictions of the human experience, finding humor in self-doubt and catharsis in life’s messier moments. Rather than offering easy answers, Little lets her inner monologue run wild, proving that even the ugliest thoughts can make for some seriously catchy music.
Vancouver singer-songwriter Alex Little continues to draw inspiration from the city that shaped her, balancing motherhood, personal growth, and the lingering insecurities that have followed her throughout her life. Building on the emotional vulnerability of 2025’s Spider in the Sink, her latest three-song EP, Conversations in My Head, dives deeper into the complicated relationship between self-awareness and self-acceptance. The title track explores the exhausting cycle of overthinking, as Little dissects everything from her physical appearance to seemingly insignificant social interactions over a slick, mid-tempo guitar groove. Meanwhile, the sinister yet danceable “Look Away” shifts the focus outward, confronting the uncomfortable tendency to ignore harmful behavior rather than acknowledge difficult truths. Closing track “Validation” returns to the internal struggle, examining our frustrating dependence on external reassurance even when we know our worth shouldn’t be determined by someone else’s approval.
Recorded at 604 Studios with producer Catherine Hiltz, alongside contributions from longtime collaborator Adam Sabla and mastering engineer Jamal Ruhe, Conversations in My Head wraps its psychological complexities in infectious garage-pop, punchy punk instrumentation, and sharp new-wave melodies. Across three compact tracks, Little captures the contradictions of personal growth, acknowledging that maturity and self-awareness don’t necessarily silence the negative voices in our heads. Instead of pretending to have everything figured out, she turns those uncomfortable thoughts into something energetic, relatable, and surprisingly cathartic, proving that sometimes the best way to deal with your inner demons is to give them a killer guitar riff.
