Alessi’s Ark were a Mrs Mackerel discovery way back, and her third studio album Love Is The Currency will be released on 27th October. The new album is full of very personal tales, self discovery and shared experience, told in a mixture of sonic settings; the California desert, alpine air, ocean sprays and the highland bothies all evoked in unfussy yet expansive production.

Check out Cut The Cord, which motors on a breezy groove with a host of hooks and enchanting vocals.
