The new single “Winter, A Wilted Flower” is out now as a deeply personal introduction to the forthcoming album by Los Angeles artist Lecx Stacy. This track originated during a six-month period while Stacy worked long shifts at a behavioral health home on the outskirts of San Diego. Recorded in his parents’ house, the song features intimate details like the faint sound of his mother doing laundry in the background. The lyrics meditate on impermanence and endings through lines such as “whispers / they tell me that you’re not the one winter.” This recording possesses a raw and spectral beauty that bridges the gap between bedroom production and high-concept philosophy.
The artist draws a factual line between his American upbringing and his father’s stories of Filipino folkhouses to create a unique blend of emo-folk and ambient textures. Having inherited musical gear from his late older brother, Stacy handles the entirety of the writing and production to turn sound into a vehicle for storytelling. This new material reflects the tension and devotional energy found in his live performances alongside acts like Eartheater and Jean Dawson. His signature style incorporates noise and folktronica to reimagine memory as a lived ritual. This music vibrates with a rare and unflinching honesty that signals a major creative breakthrough.
