Alex Lahey

Singer-songwriter Alex Lahey channeled her feelings about finding comfort in the discomfort, especially as a queer person, into the songs on her new album, The Answer Is Always Yes. Songs such as the narrative-driven "The Sky Is Melting" feature a Liz Phair-like vibe as Lahey sings laconically about experimenting with mind-altering drugs in a playful and fun manner. She performs tonight at Mahall's 20 Lanes in Lakewood.
