Here's a thing some of you might like. I spent weeks and weeks working on a restoration of the famous but badly damaged tintype of Billy the Kid. You can see the results here:…Continue

Here's me doing a little tune that I wrote with my four-string guitar. It's a bitter/sweet song about falling in love with the wrong sort of people over and over again! Continue

Profile Information
- Introduction
- My album is out!
I know, it's far too exciting to contemplate but a whole year of obsessive musical endeavour has finally culminated in the splendid collection that I call "Anachronique".
So, if you are at all stimulated by tales of feisty heroines, tragic suicides, bar room brawls and lesbian love in exotic locations, please take a moment to visit my emporium where you can listen to the album in full and at your leisure:
http://alexandrahamer.bandcamp.com/
You will find most of the tunes from my videos but all lovingly remastered to sound stout and sparkly. There are also 3 new tunes, one of which, "The Illusion of Free Will" is particularly steampunk I feel. There is also "Jealous", a tragi-comic tale of canine envy and note also "The Birds, The trees and You" which tells of a magical day of perfect love high in the canopy of the Siamese rainforest.
I have embedded my videos below and a music player on which you can hear my tunes with better sound quality.
Do visit me on Youtube:

Alexandra Hamer said… - My debut album "Anachronique" will be released on Monday the 21st of February! I will put a link to my shop here on the release day.
The album will be available as a download or on CD with pretty little 8 page booklet!

Hello Jolly Roger! I'm delighted that my tunes have entertained you! I shall make an announcement about my album hopefully in the next few days if the word "announcement" doesn't sound too pretentious!
But to sum up, it will be available as both a download and a CD even to Stateside persons such as yourself. The album will feature most of the tunes that you have heard on Youtube etc but all lovingly remastered and also 3 new tunes.
