Cape God, 1 Audio-CD (Digipak)

Cape God will be the fourth studio release from Allie X and includes collaborations with Troye Sivan and Mitski. The first single Fresh Laundry was released in September 2019 and coincided with a series of tour dates supporting the likes of Charli XCX and MARINA across the US, UK and Europe.In early 2018, I saw the documentary that started my journey to write this record.

Ive never spoken much publicly about this, but during high school, I was in and out of the hospital with physical illness. Often debilitatingly sick. To say it shaped my adolescence is an understatement. In multiple ways I related to the characters I saw in the documentary.Going into these feelings I had as a teenager was the perspective I chose to write this album from. It happened very naturally and without much thought - it became Cape God. I would say Cape God is a liminal space I created to explore my repressed feelings and perhaps create a different outcome.
