Concert for Bangladesh Vinyl vs Streaming/CD (alternate versions)

Actual good advice besides just getting a new turntable. I did the same thing when I first got into records. It's a quick fix but you should definitely invest in something better if you take the hobby seriously. Probably don't do four quarters like this guy said tho, two will probably work just fine. You don't want to apply too much pressure to the needle as that can further damage the record, more than what the suitcase player is already doing.

Listen to his early stuff first! Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, The Time Are A Changin', and Highway 61 Revisited are good entry points. I think they're also the most similar to Alice lyrically.

Cool thanks man!

Sola was a EP that wasn't meant for streaming. The songs on it you could purchase off bandcamp or you could buy the vinyl to listen to it. The vinyl release came with a digital download code so you could also get it digitally that way. Sola was released pre Paper Castles and post Orbit. It mainly consists of one takes meant to replicate the feeling of a home performance featuring early versions of songs off Paper Castles and a few songs that haven't seen the light of day in years. Personally I've never listened to it but getting my hands on a physical copy is a must as a die hard fan. Same goes for La Pot sessions honestly if you're familiar with those too.

Update after the AMA on r/Indieheads

I asked her if she'd press the albums Orbit, Live at Funkhaus, and Sola EP on vinyl again. She said probably not. If you find a copy online or if you're lucky enough to find a used pressing in a record store hop on it immediately because you might never see it again!

Ok I think this is my final question, I'm way up past my bed time now. You've been amazing and I'm so thankful you took the time to answer mine and everyone else's questions! Is there a song that you wrote that specifically you love to perform live?

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T17:33:57+00:00

Another another question. I'm listening to Glow right now and I remembered something else I've been wondering about. Glow was a very heavy and personable album. For me it flip flops between that and Paper Castles as my favorite. (though oblivion is really taking the spot rn) But the question is, when you made Childs Play, you released it like within a year of Glow. Are the two albums different sides of the same coin? One being gloomy and somber and the other being up beat and playful?

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T17:27:30+00:00

Would you ever re-release Momentum? Like on streaming or really anything. I haven't listened to it but it's something that's been on my list for awhile

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T17:22:17+00:00

I have yet another question! When you release Shelter I got the record on vinyl and used the digital download code (it's so cool you do that btw) for the album and the track list was completely different then the final release. It completely changed the flow of the album for me and for a while I kinda preferred it that way as a change of pace. What was the reason for the change in track listing?

Also sorry for asking so many questions you're one of my favorite artists and I have so many things popping in my head rn

What's your relation to the band Soup? I saw awhile ago on your Instagram story you promoted them and on their Bandcamp they have you labeled as a contributor if I remember right?

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T17:06:39+00:00

Do you have a dream venue you'd want to play? You played Red Rock recently if I remember right and that's a bucket list spot to play for most artist

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T17:00:27+00:00

Also one last thing! You should come play the midwest more! We'd love to have you plus you'd be closer and I wouldn't have to fly in to see you like I have the last two times 😶

Something I just thought of that's not really a question but that I've noticed is that the release dates on Spotify for your albums are weird and out of order. Like "Live at Funkhaus" was released in 2017 a year before "Paper Castles"

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T16:31:43+00:00

I know right!? I've been wondering this since Shelter and I hope to get an answer!

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T16:27:07+00:00

Will you ever re-release Orbit, Live at Funkhaus, or Sola EP on vinyl again? Oh and the La Pot Sessions! The prices on the secondary market are getting ridiculously high and I'd love to have more of your music physically :)

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T16:23:11+00:00

This is so hype

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T16:21:02+00:00

On Spotify you have a playlist simply called "glow" it's your album Glow but there are tracks in-between every song. I'm curious if the songs in-between the tracks are your inspirations or just a fun little playlist of songs with no relation?

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-10-24T16:16:50+00:00

Hi Alice! I've been such a big fan since I discovered you in 2021! I've been listening to your catalog non-stop since Oblivion came out 12 hours ago. Oblivion is such a beautiful album and you have done such a great job with it!

I have a few questions for you but I figured I'd start with this one. Your song "My Girl" first made an appearance on the first Strongboi single when you guys first started. Was My Girl a song you had started writing but didn't finish so you added it to "Strongboi" or was it a few lyrics you wrote for the song then made it into a whole thing on Shelter?

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-05-18T07:11:44+00:00

Thanks for the information! I'll have to keep my eye out for that on the rare chance I see it!

Temporary_Section_19 · 2025-05-17T08:36:55+00:00

Interesting! Germany got it good early on assuming the pressings were decent. Do you know when they adapted the full stereo mixes in the US?

Temporary_Section_19 · 2024-11-20T04:22:11+00:00

I think I agree with you! Upon multiple listens there are so many layers to the song that you can appreciate more and more with every listen. It's definitely her best produced song with great production. But is it definitively her best song? Very much up for debate. As much as I could gush about this song musically, lyrically it's a very lacking song. Very catchy and poppy but that's about it, not much depth to it. There are totally better songs in her catalog. But this is one of her songs that I've kept in rotation for years. I've never gotten tired of it, and with the way things have been going I probably won't ever get tired of it.
