"Oh, by now, I must have grown", Alessi Laurent-Marke croons beautifully, four songs into her stunning sophomore album Time Travel. And hasn't she just - not yet 21 but already a seasoned pro, having recorded her debut album aged just 17, with members of Bright Eyes, and touring with the likes of Laura Marling, Mumford & Sons and Brighton cult faves the Willkommen Collective. Time Travel is the first Alessi's Ark album since signing to Bella Union, where her acutely melodic and exquisitely tender folk-pop charms haven't just grown; they've blossomed into something extraordinarily mature.

The 12-track Time Travel keeps alternating between anxiety and joy, between childlike wishes and grown-up truths - how change can force us apart but also signify growth. "Run" acknowledges that you must let friends go, "to chase their dreams, even if it takes them away from you". "Wire" imagines a man who knows he hasn't chased his dreams, and time is running out. The album's one cover version, Lesley Gore's 1965 smash "Maybe I Know," is a classic from the '60s girl-group glory days of teen angst disguised as sweet and innocent pop. "On the surface, the song is very pretty but the lyrics are very sad and dark."
"... the songs have a deftness that defies her years - 8/10" - NME

"The understated arrangements suggest you're listening to a woman with impeccable taste...4 Stars" - MOJO
