There are songwriters who write guitar-spangled tomes about love. And there are those, with instruments in hand and chords at their fingertips, who ask things like: “Where and when can objective truth exist?”

That’s the crux of singer-songwriter Alex’s Price’s new single “Point of View.” Price, an L.A.-based native of the Chciago area, last year released his debut solo EP, the home-recorded “Left Off Wrong,” but on this new tune he fleshes out his sound with an assist from producer Johnny Bell (Crystal Antlers, Hanni El Khatib, Tijuana Panthers, Pinky Pinky), who engineered and mixed the track.

Amid the bristling guitars in the ’70s-styled rocker, Price sings: “And my point of view / Is nothing that I’d hold onto / I’m holding out for something true.” But what constitutes that? Price wonders. “At what point do even the most trusted opinions becoming mere noise?” he says. “Why should we aim to be good in a morally compromised world?”

Price’s earnest, guitar-spiked anthem suggests one direction to take in the search for truth, and that is to look inward.
