Alice Costelloe - Move On With The Year

A huge step forward musically, as it would appear to be personally.

Alice Costelloe - Move On With The Year

While Alice Costelloe first stepped out as a solo artist back in 2024 with the soft, synthy EP ‘When It’s The Time’, for this full-length debut, the former Big Deal and Superfood member adds dashes of self-taught flute, recorder and organ to the mix beneath her husky vocal, all while lyrically retaining her lofty curiosity.

‘Move On With The Year’ marries sonic familiarity with emotional lyrical introspection, her often dainty but always dependable indie pop toying with minimalism while she expresses past wounds, emotional distance and long-avoided family scars. A huge step forward musically, as it would appear to be personally.
