May 19, 2011Finely crafted folk is elevated towards greatness by the stunning voice of Alessi Laurent-Marke.
-
May 19, 2011Her second, now with indie Bella Union, is a precious mix of childlike insouciance and adolescent anxiety.
-
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, 2011On the remainder of Time Travel, Alessi's Ark sounds like she can achieve mainstream success purely on her own terms.
-
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, 2011With that as an unavoidable comparison point and baseline, as can be heard again on songs like the title track, Time Travel is still a pleasant album, where what comes out more are the moments of variation on the form than the form itself.

May 19, 2011She's made a solid album of pleasant, though slightly conventional, country pop songs, and done a good job of it. But after showing such early promise, it seems like a shame that more people won't get to hear what Alessi Laurent-Marke is capable of.
