Alessi’s Ark to headline Hare & Hounds!

Birmingham Promoters are teaming up with Moseley Folk to bring the enchanting Alessi’s Ark to Birmingham for a headline show at Hare & Hounds.

Travel, adventure and personal revelation mark the new album by singer-songwriter Alessi Laurent–Marke of Alessi’s Ark. The Still Life is a work both lucid and heartbreakingly lovely, a sonic landscape that roams a wide range of emotions.

Only a few short years into her career, the London-based Laurent-Marke is already prolific. Her most recent release, 2011’s Time Travel, was praised by the press, with MOJO swooning, “The understated arrangements suggest you’re listening to a woman with impeccable taste…”,  and NME remarking, “the songs have a deftness that defies her years”.

Still only 22, Laurent-Marke continues to explore. The last few years have seen tours through England and across the Continent – supporting artists including Mumford & Sons, Laura Marling, Villagers, and Laura Veirs – with the young singer backed by a revolving cast of musical collaborators, her own ‘Alessi’s Ark.’ These adventures fuelled the creative inspiration for what would become The Still Life.

“As precocious as Laura Marling, the 12 songs reveal a talent that’s on the verge of becoming something special… Beautiful and beguiling, the album gets under your skin” – The Guardian, 4 stars
