Aliocha releases "Eleven Songs"

« Imperfection is in some sort essential to all that we know of life. [...] in all things that live there are certain irregularities and deficiencies which are not only signs of life, but sources of beauty. »

If a century didn’t separate Aliocha from the author of these lines, John Rushkin, they would speak with the same voice. Because it really is this kind of beauty-creating “humanity” which Aliocha strives for; the same which pours out of Bob Dylan and Eliott Smith titles, from Lennon and Nick Drake; an audible and moving “imperfection” which made him, young and self-taught, flee the coldness of the standard, the false glitter of the "normalized".

Aliocha’s Eleven Songs is made of timeless folk and a peculiar magnetism, somewhere between the nonchalant sensitivity of the sixties and the gentle angst of modern times; of both yesterday’s and today’s pop, beautifully imperfect, framed with the word images of youthful twenties, naive and carried away. On his eleven tracks, we come successively across electrified ballads, rebel choruses, psychedelic melodies and raw and sober songs. An absorbing musical world where a voice of rare sincerity arises and unfolds among subtle and tight arrangements of strings and electronics, revealing cutting edge production of undeniable eloquence.
