Listen: Free Alessi's Ark download -  'Shovelling'

Alessi Laurent-Marke, more commonly known as Alessi's Ark, released her debut record, Notes From The Treehouse, last year. Her eccentric vocal style endeared her to many, though a few probably found it a bit strange, undoubtedly. We reviewed it here.

She returns with her first release since that record, a new EP released through Bella Union, called Soul Proprietor. It's out Monday April 5 and to celebrate the release of that EP, we've got a track for you to download, entirely for free. It's the opener, and is called 'Shovelling'. Do with it what you wish...
