Alexander Search is an English-speaking band originating from South Africa but currently based in Europe โ more specifically, in Portugal, "a seaside garden paradise" in the words of the country's greatest poet, Fernando Pessoa. Their music is a mix of several influences: indie-pop, electronic music and rock. Most of the lyrics have been written by Alexander Search, a member of the band who tragically died at a young age โ but who also managed to earn the respect of his peers as "the greatest conquerer of the beauty of words".
