AlascA – “Ophelia”

“Ophelia” by AlascA hits as romantic at first, then the layers start to show and you’re faced with youth, doubt, death, and the sting of absence. It’s folky yet strong, and that comet turned onion image fits the way the song opens up. After a five year break the band sounds sure of itself, the Dutch alt folk identity that once led the field is there still. Their history with Alan Branch, BBC support, and tours across Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, and England echoes.

If this single clicks for you, try Actors & Liars, Prospero, and Plea for Peace to hear that Bowie-esque reinvention in action, and follow AlascA on Instagram and Facebook to stay in the loop on new releases and concerts and share the dates with friends when they announce shows because this return looks steady and I’m here for the next step.
