Stay Awhile will be the debut EP by Melbourne duo ALTA. The record offers listeners something that is both soothingly familiar and tantalisingly intriguing. This blues infused rap sound is a new wave in trip hop and downtempo. Singer/song-writer Hannah Lesser and Producer Julius Dowson have aligned their varied musical backgrounds to produce ALTA’s unique mix of organic vocals and sample-heavy/electronic beats. Julius meticulously melds smooth trip-hop beats that reference producers in history while incorporating contemporary sounds causing ALTA’s fresh and distinctive sound. Hannah’s voice was created and bred on blues music. Its raw ability is merely soul shaking.
“Their live show is something else: flickering the other person sly smiles because they play, Julius loops lush beats around Hannah’s spine-tingling lyrics and provide listeners a glimpse within their shared realm of down-tempo trip-hop" - acclaimmag.com
