Velkommen til en aften i de æteriske vokalers tegn. Den irske musiker Maria Somerville og den dansk-chilenske musiker Molina tryllebinder publikum med deres dragende sangstemmer og svimmelhedsfremkaldende guitarer. Det skal nok blive en smuk aften på ALICE!

Maria Somerville
Den irske musiker Maria Somervilles lyd er vidunderligt diset. Musikeren, der er vokset op blandt bjergene i Connemara på Irlands vestkyst og som nu er baseret i Dublin, maler da også pittoreske landskaber frem i sin musik: Maria Somervilles tryllebindende, tågede pop er mødet mellem en tyst og dragende sangstemme og en nostalgisk, svævende guitarlyd. Musik, der passer perfekt til den indre melankoli – og til vores dagdrømmeri.

Maria Somerville gæster ALICE blot få dage efter udgivelsen af hendes andet album ‘Luster’, der udkommer 25. april på indielabelet 4AD. Den shoegazede, minimalistiske og drømmeagtige lyd på den roste forgænger, ‘All My People’, er blevet kaldt “A work of immense precision and subtly” og “a beautiful concoction of dream pop goodness”. I skrivende stund har vi allerede lyttet til singlen ‘Garden’ fra Maria Somervilles kommende album, og prognoserne er gode. Det skal nok blive en smuk aften på ALICE!

Molina
Molina maler også landskaber i sin musik. Den pop, som den herboende dansk-chilenske musiker, producer og komponist Molinas står bag, forener det upolerede og det yndefulde. Hendes musik er, som Information skrev i deres anmeldelse EP’en ‘Vanilla Shell’ fra 2020, “sofistikeret og vanedannede”.

Nu er musikeren aktuel med debutalbummet ‘When You Wake Up’, der udkom på Escho sidste efterår. En stor del af pladen blevet skrevet under Molinas graviditet. Og det kan på en måde høres. I hvert fald hvis man følger Pitchforks begejstrede anmeldelse. For albummet er “an exercise in intense presentness, one that holds the awe and exhaustion of embodied existence”. På ‘When You Wake Up’ møder tågede guitarlyde Molinas æteriske vokaler og lagdelte samples. Vi glæder os til at opleve Molinas uimodståelige, shoegazeagtige og nærmest surrealistiske poplyd, når hun kommer til ALICE til maj!

In English:
Welcome to an evening dedicated to ethereal vocals. Irish musician Maria Somerville and Danish-Chilean artist Molina will captivate you with their mesmerizing voices and dizzying guitar soundscapes. It’s bound to be a magical night at ALICE!
Maria Somerville

The sound of Irish musician Maria Somerville is wonderfully hazy. Raised among the mountains of Connemara on Ireland’s west coast and now based in Dublin, she paints picturesque landscapes in her music: a meeting of hushed, hypnotic vocals and nostalgic, floating guitar tones. Her enchanting, misty pop is the perfect soundtrack for our inner melancholy — and our daydreams.

Maria Somerville visits ALICE just days after the release of her second album, ‘Luster’, out on April 25 via indie label 4AD. The shoegazy, minimalist, and dreamlike sound of her acclaimed debut, ‘All My People’, has been described as “a work of immense precision and subtlety” and “a beautiful concoction of dream pop goodness.” We’ve already had a taste of its successor. From the single “Garden” the upcoming album sounds very promising. It’s bound to be a magical night at ALICE!

Molina
Molina also paints landscapes through her music. The pop sound crafted by the Danish-Chilean musician, producer, and composer blends the unpolished with the graceful. As the Danish newspaper Information wrote in its review of her 2020 EP ‘Vanilla Shell’, her music is “sophisticated and addictive.”

Now, Molina is back with her debut album, “When You Wake Up”, released last fall on Escho. Much of the record was written during her pregnancy —and in a way, you can hear it. At least according to Pitchfork’s review, which describes the album as “an exercise in intense presentness, one that holds the awe and exhaustion of embodied existence.” On ‘When You Wake Up’, hazy guitar textures intertwine with Molina’s ethereal vocals and layered samples. We can’t wait to be lulled by Molina’s irresistible, shoegazy and somewhat surreal pop sound when she takes the stage at ALICE this May!
