Novo Amor - Birthplace

Novo Amor, aka multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Ali Lacey comes from deep in the Welsh mountains. Recording, mixing and producing everything in his home studio, Lacey�s emotive vocals and the sounds he uses, often formed through sonic experimentation, make for fantastically atmospheric songs that are moving and striking.

On his debut album �Birthplace�, the sounds of his home bleed in - the chatter of a party across the street, Bonfire Night fireworks, the seagulls that gather on the building site next door. Even the sound of the late-night recording hours kept to avoid the sounds of construction make their presence felt. The songs cover many theme and thoughts - �Repeat Until Death� deals with friends experiencing drug addiction, �Seneca� is rooted in the story of a town in Nebraska that tore itself apart over a dispute over how many horses might be kept in a yard. �But no matter what each individual song is about there�s a sombre conflict across the record,� Lacey says. �It contradicts the happiness with waking up every morning another day older, another day further away from your past.�
