Alessi’s Ark - The Horse EP
Alessi's Ark releases her debut EP The Horse through Virgin Records available from the 8th of December 2008.
How did someone so young create an album so sophisticated? That's the first question listening to Alessi's Ark, the debut by 18 year-old Londoner Alessi. From the crafted pop of The Horse - one minute 53 seconds of a perfectly executed idea - to Constellations, which uses an elegant orchestral arrangement to carry a lullaby-like love song filled with an easy kind of wisdom, you're left wondering: where did all this come from?
"It all started when I did a zine at 14," says Alessi, who still lives at home with her family in Hammersmith, and who has the voice of someone only just emerging from childhood. "A friend of my dad's who lived in WIlliamsburg in Brooklyn had started a zine called The Curse. I liked it so much that I created my own, called Brain Bulletin, which I did all through secondary school. The first place I distributed it was in a launderette on Shepherd's Bush Road.
