Alice Hubble

An album of melancholic pop layered by vintage synths and elegant vocals – utterly captivating.

The album was born out of a desire to work on a project without constraints, to move away from the traditional song writing process and to experiment with the form. Inspired by the 70’s recordings by Tangerine Dream, Ashra and Kraftwerk, Alice wanted put a distinctly feminine take on the 70’s Germanic synth sound. Other inspirations included Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, Lee Hazlewood’s Swedish recordings, 80’s American synth pop band The Book of Love and contemporary acts like Jane Weaver and Goldfrapp. Constructing and sketching riffs on her iPad during monotonous train journeys throughout the country, Alice built up her fragmentary ideas using vintage synthesisers and a mellotron creating something majestic, and sweeping. The LP offers a soundscape of pastoral solace, far removed the urban sprawl.
