Alice Costelloe (UK)

"candid indie-pop tunes"

For fans of: Cate Le Bon, Feist, Andy Shauf

Bio provided by artist:
 London based Alice Costelloe – formerly of critically acclaimed shoegaze duo Big Deal (Mute Records) and previously live bassist for Superfood – independently released her debut solo EP ‘ So Neurotic’ (under the name Al Costelloe) in September 2023. 

In 2024 she signed to cult UK label Moshi Moshi Records and released her second EP ‘When It’s The Time’ – working with producer Mike Lindsay (Lump, Tunng). Her debut album ‘Move On With The Year’, released February 2026, is a break-away record consisting of 10 tracks of beguiling art-pop built on self-trust, instinct, and a necessary process of creative detangling. 

Produced by Mike Lindsay in his Margate studio, the album rejects the indie-rock lineage Alice came up in, trading guitar solos for mellotron, taishogoto and flute lines recorded mid-lesson, trusting imperfection as the truest form of expression. Beneath that sound is a harder story: the weight of a complicated parental relationship and the kind of grief that doesn’t resolve neatly. 

At its heart, this is a companion album to growing up again – not about one heartbreak, but about reshaping your entire emotional framework and identity in order to step into the next chapter of life.
