Blake, Ailise
Soave (beige)
Ailise Blake, a former member of the bands J.C. Satan and La Secte du Futur, is a solo artist whose work has a mystical quality, characterised by what some refer to as "Spectral Folk" and is a blend of moody, dark and ethereal songwriting. The upcoming album follows her 2020 debut, "Songs From The Uncanny Valley". Ailise Blake explains the deep, personal meaning behind the album's title, "Soave": "I titled this album "Soave" not only because of the sound of the word itself, which to my ears sounds like the wind, but because for me, soave is what we perceive silently beneath the action of everyday life, that veil of calm and stillness found when we stop to listen to ourselves; it represents the light and the tenderness, yet it is still and untouchable, it is alchemical, it is transcendental, it gives a sense of peace completely subjective to the mind that perceives it."
