1.	Pretty Blue 108 02:21	lyrics	buy track
See the weight came and stopped me it threw me again Wake me up to get out on the weekend Always hoping for a bright end But I know that cant always be that way I didn’t want to go out Said I’d had enough Been closing off from the ones I love I wanna go out and mean it I wanna know how you are I want be wherever you are And see the light from the stars I always want to lean in To make up on all I missed out on All that I never noticed When I was busy looking at you/feeling blue When I was six and bored in Chicago I jumped down a flight of stairs I couldn’t walk all night on Halloween Under a dark sky and street light glare Now I wanna get up It’s been upside down No more closing off from the ones I love
2.	Get High Feel Alive 03:18	lyrics	buy track
Am I aware of what I am today I don’t have to impress anyone Guess I was always acting strange Around the ones I love Every second, every time I second guess Everything that ran through my head I was always trying to be someone else Then I fell into the light… I don’t need to get high to feel alive Everything that you need is already inside Don’t just be along for the ride co-create your own life Adventure seems like another time Listening to “I left my heart”, like we were never apart Now I am refined, I am changed But still part of the same whole That I always was, Sometimes something stirs within My tolerance is strong but then I go numb I’m not as weak as you think But I was lost enough to speak to you And so I fall into your light… (I never wanted to feel this way, bring me back to life with “Truth Decay”. I never wanted to feel this way, I just couldn’t tell you)
3.	Waves 03:20	lyrics	buy track
I can't seem to get a grip on reality My hand aren't serving me And I can't turn around Held up in my mind I was doing so well for my circumstance Then it all just fell apart Work, skate, sing, breathe Be still, be free Calm down, I cant speak I need some more room to breathe Take the waves as they come Roll with them one by one Lay down those comparisons We won't be here for long If this journey is mine, how do I change it? If this journey is mine, should I change it? There were days that I didn't believe in anything more Do you still see me the same as before? When I felt that summer breeze in my hair I could feel a change in the air I'm in the yellow flowers now In every white feather that falls down I pull on these thoughts and I’m numb all together You're up in the clouds now, untethered I wanna be “Up in the Air Forever
4.	Sun Goes Down 02:03	lyrics	buy track
I’m on a non-stop flight of the world And of you I’ve been reflecting And on all the thoughts I denied Walking on the other side of the road Cause don’t want to miss you Tell me everything that you want I feel it too The sun goes down on me, can you feel it? The sun rolls down on me, can you feel it too? This all falls down on me, can you feel it? This all falls down on me, can you feel it too? What a sore sight for sunrise in your eyes That’s a mood i’ve been reflecting As we “Breathe Out Dreams” We seem to align just right It’s like I’m taking apart every piece of me I’m always on the run from all the things I seem to miss out on.
5.	That Was Day Time, This Is Night Time 01:05	lyrics	buy track
oh well that didn't work, obviously that didn't work! that's probably a bad idea... like they're just waiting to pass though to the next stage but I dunno, you're cool HELLO! so if you've listened to the album so far; thank you so much, really appreciate that. Maybe you'll have noticed that the songs sounded kinda sunny until now, thats the concept of this album.... uh it's like going from day time to night time / the cycle of the world. I guess thats what inspired the album title which is "Around The World & Back To You" the thought of we can all travel around the world to see all these different things and go different places but you always come back to yourself and that you cant run away from your thoughts and feelings forever. So, that's what this album is about, I hope you've enjoyed it so far. Thanks yo everyone who provided a voice note (sorry about that) these next songs are kinda sat but whatever, That Was Day Time, This is Night Time. yeah!
6.	Could You Promise 02:39	lyrics	buy track
I could lie awake and count all the things That I’m grateful for Drawling lines across the stars Connecting up the dark Yeah I’ve been going through it But after all this time I think i’m starting to to believe… That it doesn't have to hurt anymore And we can still find something sweet Theres so much more to live for in between (A new sun is rising, I don’t need reminding of you)
7.	Rush 03:06	lyrics	buy track
Pull me out my normal life Navy walls and ceilings high They’re dancing and I’m watching Do you think I’ve changed? We used to be so familiar Now I’m sitting in the peripheral They’re laughing I’m not talking Can’t you see that I’m not the same? And I feel so trapped inside This anxiety is taking over me But I, will take it one step at a time The world can wait for me to realign So I can make the most of this life time And what else can I say? I promise il be back to myself again, someday I’m watching you play live from a screen I wish I could be there, too overwhelming I used to be alright, now I need quiet So I bury my heart like a seed Waiting for the summer I’ll be blooming I don’t wanna live like this forever I’ve been pushing myself so I'm gonna slow down I’m letting these feelings all breathe out
8.	Fear 02:57	lyrics	buy track
My head is spinning I don’t feel right All this is feeling so hard inside I’ve been trying to change the scene But I don’t want to be here It’s like I’m walking the fault line in my mind Ready to erupt at anytime I shut my mouth and close my eyes Like the tide i’m ready to rise It’s so embarrassing I cant stay without shaking My body reacting to a past I’ve been trying to heal from I know you don’t think any less of me But it’s tearing me apart cant you see? I wanna know if I can let it all go I wanna cleanse and heal and grow So I step into the place I was fearing Diving head-first through the hurt to find healing I’ve been feeling outside of my body Could I learn to love this?
9.	Doesn't Have To Hurt 02:41	lyrics	buy track
I could lie awake and count all the things That I’m grateful for Drawling lines across the stars Connecting up the dark Yeah I’ve been going through it But after all this time I think i’m starting to to believe… That it doesn't have to hurt anymore And we can still find something sweet Theres so much more to live for in between (A new sun is rising, I don’t need reminding of you)
10.	Younger Life 02:40	lyrics	buy track
I will curl up and I will try to keep warm In this body wasting away It's a sickness rising up like a slow decay, Like a slow fade, watched you wither away All those mornings you laid in bed Purple walls and silhouettes All those records you collected Before we laid you down to... We've seen the grief, we've come so far From those 12 year olds lost in the dark Sometimes I just stand outside and watch the world float on by The endless dark of the night Infinity before my eyes I shut myself away in the summer heat Singing the world was always at my feet Been doing better since 16 In fact, I’m everything that i dreamed to be Unwind me to my younger life Revive my innocence under star light When I didn't know what was waiting When I didn't know what I was feeling
11.	Fade Away 02:22	lyrics	buy track
I’m so sorry for how I was Those summers I felt so lost Looking back I get why I was that way I was 20 something full of sadness The wait to grow up felt so endless Young and confident All I wanted was to… Get out my head for the day All the things I’ve grown to hate Let them fade away Can you imagine just what could happen If I could float into you? Can you you imagine just what could happen You’ve got me spinning round and falling for you I’m saying how I feel You’re the only one listening You said “isn’t it sad how we will fade away?” I’ve been thinking about what you said How you wish you could go anywhere We’d go if we weren’t so scared to Get out our heads for the day All things we’ve grown to hate Let them fade away
12.	Seasons 01:24	lyrics	buy track
I’ve been living But I’ve not been trying Yeah I’ve been floating around On autopilot Oh come on, come on You should really try it Nah, I’m alright Oh come on, come on You know you’re gonna get it I wont Seasons Moving round my head again Pull my head out to make amends Maybe when the full moon rises I’ll be alright

about

Alice Kat is the performing moniker of Boston-based Alice Katugampola, who has lately received widespread critical acclaim as one half of Fine, a jangly indie-pop duo (along with Liam Marsh) whose harmonies are steeped in the most precious of crushed melancholy.

However, her solo work characterized by the superb eponymous debut (2016), Telephone Conversations (2020), and now this wonderful Around the World & Back to You third album has always been used as a vehicle to get her more 'noise' edged musical sensibilities out into the world.

Not that this album is devoid of the 'undiluted pretty' that her made-for indie-pop vocals are so comfortable within, as lead singles Get High Feel Alive, Could You Promise, and Fear all augment what are the album's most genuine jangly tracks with her burnished vocal beauty, which is allowed to resonate when not surrounded by the extra dynamism.

However, it is exactly this 'extra dynamism' that Alice Kat's solo back catalogue will one day ultimately be remembered for. As such, the juxtaposition of 90s alt. rock girl group 'pithy' and glorious melodic fuzz-encrusted pop typifies Pretty Blue 108, Sun Goes Down, Doesn't Have To Hurt, and Fade Away, whereas the muted, subdued jangle-gaze inflections of Waves and Rush could sit at the same table with the best of the Spirit Goth roster.

A truly special talent in all her forms, the music of Alice Kat deserves to be in as many ears as possible.
