Rex Orange County at The Bomb Factory

Rex Orange County is difficult to place neatly into boxes, but he skews towards R&B, pop, and funky rock. He raps, too, and the crowd followed his every word on songs like “Paradise” and “Television/So Far So Good.” The second half of his set contained more guitar songs. He even went solo on the six-string on “Untitled,” “A Song About Being Sad,” and “Corduroy Dreams.” “Corduroy Dreams” and “Best Friend” got the biggest sing- and clap-alongs of the night, especially has he whistled the interlude on the former. For the only encore, Rex played “Loving is Easy,” his one-off single with Benny Sings.
