Alf Whitby (Spoken Label, March 2023)
Description
** Contains exclusive bonus track **
Latest Spoken Label session (Artist / Writer Podcast) features an exclusive interview and session with London born now Manchester based Folk Singer songwriter Alf Whitby.
Alf's alternative folk style revolves around a core of voice, guitar and piano, and draws influence from both traditional folk (Nick Drake) and more modern alternative styles (Sufjan Stevens).
Juxtaposition between tenderness and angst is a key element to Alf's songs, with dynamic shifts bringing the listener along on a meandering ride. Lyrically the songs began as a cathartic release of thoughts and feelings too often left buried inside, but this has evolved into more structured storytelling involving an array of characters and imagery.
