About
November 2025
Following the release of her ethereal, introspective and widely lauded record Gravity of Gold in 2024, 2025 has been a little less hectic for Alas, spending a few months seeing family back in California, but returning in time to perform at North Berwick’s Fringe by the Sea and for her own show at Edinburgh’s Leith Depot.
November sees her return to Post Electric, Leith to record her next studio album. Singles and album release follow in 2026.
November 7th saw the release of a unique music collaboration by Studio Faire Play, featuring Alas, Viktoria Grynenko a Ukrainian violinist now living in Canada and Sacha Lattuca a pianist from Palermo.
The musicians spent 3 days collaborating at Studio Faire a creative residency in Nérac, France, situated between Bordeaux and Toulouse. Recording and filming a performance of their collaboration on the final day.
September saw the re-release of her bombastic Halloween single ‘For Forever’ (originally released in October 24) and an accompanying ‘Lost Boys’ 80s-themed video, written and directed by the singer-songwriter herself
The gloomy single explores immortality through the perspective of a brooding vampire. Showcasing Alas’ signature elegant vocals and imaginative songwriting, this track was tailor-made for her favourite holiday season
Alas de Liona hails from a small town in the Mojave Desert and after coming to Edinburgh for the final year of a university course, ended up making a life changing move from the USA to live full time in Scotland
Echoing a vocal lineage from Joni Mitchell to Phoebe Bridgers, and with a dreamlike, deep and thoughtful song writing sensibility, she released several singles then an album Gravity Of Gold in September 2024’, produced by Idlewild’s Rod Jones, recorded at Post Electric, Leith.
Great media acclaim followed including from the likes of Clash, The Line Of Best Fit, The Scotsman, BBC Radio Scotland, The Skinny, RTE, The Arts Desk, Fresh On The Net, God Is In The TV, Atwood Magazine, Noctis Magazine and Crack Magazine, she is steadily gaining recognition and showing all the signs of an artist to watch

It reminds me of Kate Bush in her Hounds of Love period
Rock The Joint
Raises the bar in the ever-evolving story of Indie-pop

It’s a release full of indie-pop gems that take in everything from gorgeous melancholy to tracks that get a real wiggle on as she continues her exploration of the inner workings of heart and mind. Beautiful stuff.
The Crack Magazine
Alas de Liona is a star on the rise! Magnetic at her essence, there’s a lot of metaphorical imagery here, like the fabric of our life and the trials of our ancestors. Stylistically it’s an indie pop triumph. Enjoy it!
