Alice Phoebe Lou’s fiercely independent approach to her music has given the singer songwriter a creative confidence that shines through in her captivating vocals and stripped back music. Born in South Africa and having developed her ethereal indie-folk sound busking the streets of Berlin, Alice has caught the ears of a community of music lovers the world over with her honest storytelling and raw, beautiful voice. Producer Noah Georgeson directed the recording sessions for over two weeks, helping Alice’s find the constellation of each song that felt right for her. Him and Samur (engineer) had immediately synergy with the band which made the days creating the album flow with ease. They helped each musician track their best performances. The final part of recording the album saw Alice and Noah honing down her vocals at Seahorse Studio in LA. Noah Georgeson also mixed the album.
