NOVO AMOR Announces New EP ‘Bathing Beach’

The artist shares lead track, Carry You, of his forthcoming sophomore EP, Bathing Beach.

Novo Amor, alias Welsh multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer Ali Lacey, has unveiled captivating new single, Carry You, as a taste of his new EP due next month.

With a talent of creating ambient enthralling tunes, Novo Amor returns with another offering that will give you a shiver down your spine. The delicate pulling of the strings, subtle high pitching vocals channel Bon Iver so easily, and the emotional charge that erupts before we reach the end of this one-track-long journey. Carry You is a nostalgic piece of masterfully shaped sonics that will touch even the coldest hearts.

Ali says of the track and the EP:

‘Carry You’ is an expression of nostalgia, a wistful nod to to a certain period of time. The idea to title the EP ‘Bathing Beach’ comes from an illustrated postcard of a shore in New York State, a place that was my home for a summer back in 2011. For me, Bathing Beach exerts a calmness that was present during my time there; the idea of it being a place where the land meets the water almost feels like the perfect place to let something go, or set something free. The sentiment is mirrored in the video for ‘Anchor’ and is a recurring theme throughout the four songs.
