"CORAL DUST" NEW ALBUM COMING SOON

"New York songbird Alexa Wilding just wrapped Coral Dust, the follow-up to her 2009 self-titled debut. Produced by Tim Foljahn (who has collaborated with Cat Power, Thurston Moore, the late Townes Van Zandt) and mixed by Television's Fred Smith, the album's lush and atmospheric expanse is an electrifying progression from Wilding's dark acoustic noir. As Foljahn puts it, "The first record is a sweet, dirty delight in sparky darkness. The new one is a whole other thing: vistas of space dust and crystal cliffs." While the songs are still rooted in Wilding and Foljahn's intricate call-and-response guitar play, room has been made for deep sea bells, airy synths, and mischievous percussion, courtesy of Brooklyn drummer, Brian Kantor (Higgins, Vetiver). Wilding reigns over these dreamy equations with warm, layered vocals, weaving her tales with self-possession. Coral Dustis my Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, " she laughs, "it's deep sea diving for the faint of heart." " - June 2011 contact kelly@alexawilding.com
