Shit's Awes0me: Alessi's Ark

Last time I was talking about Julia Stone on here, this time I would like to shed some light on her British collegue Alessi, performing with some more musicians under the name Alessi's Ark. As said, her music is very similar to that of Julia Stone, the main difference being that Alessi's music is bit folkier, a bit more natural, the other difference being her voice, both Julia and Alessi have very unique voices, Alessi having a bit lower, more vibrating tone.

In her short history of existence she released a couple of albums and EP's, some of them even released by her own label; Zooey, one of them being her last work: Soul Proprietor. The last song on this 4-track EP is called Bird Song and is a collaboration with Willkommen Collective. It's not one of her typical songs, but it's a lovely preview of what direction she might be going in the near future.



Previous to this EP, in 2009, she released one of my favourite folk albums of the past couple of years: Notes From the Treehouse of which Woman is my absolute favourite. It's probably the most introvert track on this album, and provoking a lot of joy when discovering this: she actually performed this track live on a balcony in Dublin, with Marcus (Sons of Noel and Adrian) on the background playing guitar and doing background vocals. Like falling in love:



I hope so much this was enough to convince you of her undescribable cuteness, awes0meness and absolute unique way of composing contemporary folk music.

Spread the love, yellow paint and purplefuzzylowglow,

Selwin.
