ALASKA, Uno Lady’s 9th release, was recorded at an off-the-grid solar-powered arts fellowship at Chulitna Wilderness Lodge in Lake Clark National Park & Preserve, Alaska.
Alaska is released in partnership with Softseed Music in British Columbia on limited edition cassette tapes (32), each with one-of-a-kind swirl art made by Dave Norman of Softseed Music. The tapes is available Softseedmusic.bandcamp.com and UnoLady.com.
SOUNDS LIKE: Reverberating beyond genres, her sound is influenced by minimalism, avant garde pop, art rock, a cappella, and indie experimental.
Uno Lady loops ambient vocal textures. Her choral compositions are layered with classic doo wop and jazz vocal styles filtered through experimental techniques. A few tracks on ALASKA feature effected vocals somewhat reminiscent of the White Lotus theme. The last two pieces are meditations: relaxing, dreamlike, peaceful, and soothing.
These songs were written in the moment and inspired by the landscape. You can hear the tranquility of the place within the songs. The percussion was made by drumming on trees and the beats are comprised of bird calls she recorded herself. These nature sounds pulse along with layers of vocal harmonies. These truly unique compositions are atmospheric and mesmerizing, displaying her dynamic vocal style, range, and production skills.
