Novo Amor is the ethereal musical project of Welshman Ali Lacey, who is fast becoming known for his quivering falsetto and cinematic instrumentals. To follow up the success of ‘Anchor’, he has just released ‘Carry You’ from his Bathing Beach EP, and it’s frankly, stunning. Lacey’s soft falsetto vocals are layered infinitely to create a wash of sound which ebbs and flows over a gradually building backdrop of strings, percussion and guitars. The result is near perfection, its sensitivity and build call to mind Sigur Ros’ ‘Varúð’. ‘Carry You’ is released by Believe Recordings on 26^th May. Grab yourself a spot in the sun, sit back and let Novo Amor ‘Carry You’ clean off your feet. -HM
