MojoMay 19, 2011Acquaint yourself with this successor to 2009's Notes From The Treehouse and it doesn't take long to see what Bella Union honcho Simon Raymonde saw Laurent-Marke. [May 2011, p.112]

May 19, 2011Her second, now with indie Bella Union, is a precious mix of childlike insouciance and adolescent anxiety.
-
May 19, 2011On the remainder of Time Travel, Alessi's Ark sounds like she can achieve mainstream success purely on her own terms.
-
May 19, 2011The 12 brief songs (five of them under two minutes long) reveal a talent that's on the verge of becoming something special.

May 19, 2011Time Travel has some stellar moments but is not quite the album to make a star of Alessi's Ark. The singer has time on her hands for that to happen, and happen it surely will.

May 19, 2011Alessi's Ark carries its ideas two-by-two, sails well above the current flood of increasingly desperate folk wannabes, and weaves a modest magic that is hard to pinpoint, yet even harder to resist.
