"Atmospheric alt-pop raising money for women’s mental health support. Ålesund’s uplifting torch songs are awash with strings, shimmering synths and hints of folk; a surefire hit for fans of Elder Island, STANLÆY and Kate Bush."

ALESUND
'Imagine a London Grammar and Florence + The Machine hybrid. Got it? Now add ethereal, Nordic imagery similar to that of AURORA, and you’re left with the atmospheric marvel that is Ålesund'
Darlingzine
'Full of feminine power and majestic, all-encompassing sound, ‘Lightning’ is a must-listen for Kate Bush and Florence and the Machine fanatics.'
Tit Upon Tyne
BEN COOLING
Ben has spent the best part of the last 10 years playing and writing music with honesty and conviction with his to the point style and lyrics that anyone can relate to.
