The latest track from Rosie Alena, ‘Mixed Messages’, comes alongside a meaningful and poignant video. Musically, the piece is hazy and atmospheric, giving off a feeling of separation and distance through a mesmeric voice and reverb heavy guitars. The video sees Alena wandering through London, mirroring the reflective music through her own actions, touring through a few iconic locations you might well recognise. Production wise, Morgan Simpson manages to perfectly balance clarity with the shimmering soundscape Alena focused on in writing ‘Mixed Messages’. Make sure you check this newcomer out at one of her live shows this December. - Dan Peeke
