Alas de Liona releases a new single, "The Alchemist's Son"

Alas de Liona's latest release, "The Alchemist's Son," is a hauntingly gentle ballad that sticks to the mind once the final note has been sung. The song, featured on her album 'Gravity of Gold,' is the emotional centerpiece in a project deeply concerned with longing, ambition, and the weight of dreams.

Alas creates a thoughtful number about the price of pursuing one's most exalted impulses using her trademark dreamy songwriting and a voice that blends fragility and power. The song invites listeners into quiet contemplation, where love and ambition meet, sometimes with difficulty.

This theme translates beautifully into the song's visual counterpart. Piloted by Alas herself, the music video was shot at the historic Ferniehirst Castle in the Scottish Borders, a backdrop that embodies the timeless, contemplative nature of the song. The hall of stone halls and echoes of antiquity connect perfectly with the gravity of the lyrics.

A native of the Mojave Desert region, Alas de Liona's journey to Scotland was a leap of faith. Now settled into life in the capital, she is carving herself a niche within the indie-folk genre, with 'Gravity of Gold' produced by Idlewild's Rod Jones placing her as a distinct and considered voice within contemporary songcraft.
