Lions & Werewolves

Alana’s upcoming album “Lions & Werewolves” was recorded in a 100-year-old church in rural Kelwood, Manitoba, and at upscale Parr Street Studios in Liverpool, England. It was produced by UK producer Ken Nelson, renowned for his work with Gomez and Coldplay. He has also worked with Badly Drawn Boy, Snow Patrol, Polly Paulusma and Paolo Nutini.

“When I began thinking about this record, I knew I wanted an evolution,” says Alana. “I also wanted to allow myself to grow organically, and to listen to my instincts. The album is very organic. Some people might be surprised that it evolved as much as it did. But I had over two years of touring in eight countries. And working with Ken Nelson, I wanted someone from outside of the roots world to put a twist to what I do.”

“I really believe in Alana,” says legendary BBC Radio 2 announcer Bob Harris. “She is part of an emerging generation of new artists who are reflecting the range of influences that make Canadian music so exciting, from the brilliant free-form collective Broken Social Scene, to the authentic Country twang of Corb Lund. Her songs are intelligent, warm and strong. She’s a fine artist, and a trouper.”
