Irish songstress AVA VOX releases haunting single "Alone Again", premiered via Post-Punk.com | "Immortalised" LP out March 25th
[2022-02-11]
Dublin's Ava Vox presents her new single 'Alone Again', a slow-paced haunting hymn and the second taste of her forthcoming debut album 'Immortalised', slated for release in late March.
This song features bassist James Blennerhassett, who has worked with Elvis Costello, The Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful and Van Morrison, as well as drummer Robbie Casserly, who has worked with Elvis Costello, Mark Knopfler, The Commitments and Riverdance.
"The song 'Alone Again' is about an abusive relationship, where the victim eventually gets the courage to escape from their abuser. Once away, they realise it was the right thing to do for them, and they feel happy and safe at last. But then the abuser lures them back again, saying they will change, it will never happen again," says Ava Vox.
Ava Vox recently released the single 'Crash', a post-punk banger with lively video, produced by Isaac Burke, sending an ominous warning about environmental devastation - a visualization of the world crashing down. In early 2021, she debuted with a cover of The Cure's 'Love Song' and her 'Strange Days' single, which included her rendition of Soft Cell's 'Tainted Love' and Bowie's 'Life on Mars'.
A Dublin native, Ava Vox (real name Elaine Hannon) now lives in County Meath. While involved with various music projects in the past few decades, her Ava Vox persona emerged in September 2020. With a unique vocal timbre and commanding delivery with a dash of goth rock and post-punk, her musical style ranges from slow melodic atmospheric to dynamic rock.
As of February 9, 'Along Again' will be available across online stores and streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. The full 'Immortalised' album will be released on March 25.
