oooo - just picked up the New Zealand references. Kia ora Alice :) It's nice when you find the artist has had a connection to your home.. Enjoying it anyway!
He went home to the South island
To get himself straight
But the Ōtākaro River couldn't wash it away
Brought back gifts for all the children
Greenstones on strings
And a soft white lamb just for me
But did it do a thing?
Would be nice if a North Island placename got an honourary mention - just to keep us Jaffa's in the mix!

nice, but I kept thinking my phone was ringing.
Just passively listening and looked to see who it was and was surprised it was not Karen O
Just released it looks like. I like it. Soothing and gentle.

Alice Costelloe is a London-based singer-songwriter and musician known for her delicate, art-pop solo work and her tenure in the critically acclaimed shoegaze duo Big Deal.
Solo Career and Debut Album
Costelloe released her debut full-length solo album, Move On With The Year, on February 6, 2026, through Moshi Moshi Records. Produced by Mike Lindsay (of LUMP and Tunng), the record marks a shift from her indie-rock roots toward a texture-rich palette of woodwinds, synths, and mellotron.
Musical Style: Fragile melodies and introspective lyrics drawing comparisons to artists like Cate Le Bon, Feist, and Julia Jacklin.
Key Solo Releases: Move On With The Year (Album, 2026) When It’s The Time (EP, 2024) So Neurotic (EP, 2023)
Instrumental Shift: For her debut album, she moved away from her primary instrument, the guitar, to write on the flute and piano to find "new melodic worlds".

Too bad about the heavy echo effect on the vocals...
Lenght: 0:00 - wow, that's rather short. But i like it.
A little bit like Cocteau Twins.

We just got back from a month in Aotearoa New Zealand, including a lovely day touring the Botanical Gardens in Christchurch, which is surrounded by a bend of the Ōtākaro.
