Alive

Limited two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) edition in hardbound book packaging.. 2011 sophomore album from the London based singer/songwriter. Tallulah Rendall's music is ethereal yet powerful, delicate and yet vociferous in it's insistent, intricate and beautifully orchestrated sound. Alive is a record possessed of a pervasive strength, songs rise into soaring, expansive climaxes with Tallulah's voice a mesmerizing constant. Despite this power, there remains a delicate femininity and lightness of songwriting on Alive demonstrative of a breadth of creative talent and an instinctive mastery of light and shade which brings to mind musical influences from Patti Smith and Jeff Buckley to Martha Wainwright. Recorded at Hookend Studios, formerly owned by David Gilmour and the erstwhile home of Radiohead, Morrissey and the Manic Street Preachers, Alive retains that vital, magical 'live' feel whilst affording every individual intricacy of Tallulah's songwriting the glorious clarity which it richly deserves.
