Alice Costelloe's debut album 'Move On With The Year', out next February on cult UK label Moshi Moshi, is a break-away record - 10 tracks of beguiling art-pop built on self-trust, instinct, and a necessary process of creative detangling.
Produced by Mike Lindsay (LUMP, Laura Marling, Tunng) in his Margate studio, the album rejects the indie-rock lineage Alice came up in, trading guitar solos for mellotron, taishogoto and flute lines recorded mid-lesson, trusting imperfection as the truest form of expression. Beneath that sound is a harder story: the weight of a complicated parental relationship and the kind of grief that doesn’t resolve neatly.
At its heart, this is a companion album to growing up again - not about one heartbreak, but about reshaping your entire emotional framework and identity in order to step into the next chapter of life.
