Alison Sudol has now expanded into exploring many different facets of music including composing, performing and songwriting. On November 2nd 2018, Sudol independently released new music under her own name with the ‘Moon’ EP; her first music released in 6 years.
“A piano motif like a five-not mantra recurs throughout this eerie, reticent, metaphysical lullaby…It’s a meditation on memory and change, on trauma and comfort, on closeness and letting go.” – Jon Pareles, New York Times
The ‘Moon’ EP was released via Hearth, a record label founded by Sudol and longtime manager Adrienne Butcher, as a way to release music that is supportive of the artist. This summer, Sudol will release the highly anticipated follow up EP, ‘Moonlite.’ Both EP’s were co-produced by Ali Chant (Perfume Genius, PJ Harvey) and feature Clive Deamer and Adrian Utley (Portishead) and John Parish (PJ Harvey).
“Moon” and “Moonlite” balance the organic and postmodern, the atmospheric and heartfelt.” – Steve Appleford, Los Angeles Times
