Ailise Blake, the "spectral folk" artist, is set to release her second album, Soave, on November 7 via These Hands Melt, with the debut single "Apollo (The Attraction Towards the Sun)." The album symbolizes the stillness beneath daily life, highlighting themes of subjective peace through a blend of natural imagery and intimate moments that reflect her isolated writing process. Recorded in a remote mountaintop village, Blake aimed for raw authenticity, exploring influences from her philosophical studies.
In a world increasingly dominated by digital noise, how do you think immersive isolation affects an artist’s creative process and the authenticity of their work?
