Alice Costelloe

Alice Costelloe is breaking free on her latest EP 'When It's The Time'. The first release under her full name (previously operating under the Al Costelloe abbreviation) and her first having signed to much-heralded indie label Moshi Moshi Records. Sonically, new EP 'When It's The Time' (out now via Moshi Moshi) presents a captivating progression - introducing elements of art-pop (in no small part due to the EP's producer Mike Lindsay's "treasure chest of synths") to her optimistic, soothing indie-pop.

Thematically, the EP poses questions about mortality, and "how to make yourself a better life in a world that often feels apocalyptic" - in Costelloe's own words. Lead single and EP title track "When It's The Time”, was the catalyst not just for the lyrical themes across the new project, but also a benchmark for what Alice wanted the rest of EP to sound like. Humorously balancing a playful sense of optimism against the looming spectre of death; pillowy synths and celestial organs provide a warming backdrop for Alice's pristine voice and deft examinations of humanity.
