Alice is a vocal harmony trio made up of three persons, joined by a cheap synth and limited virtuosity. Together, they craft a kind of future folklore thats part funny, part apocalyptic half-soft, half-harsh, half-sad, half-simple, half-complex, half-controlled, half-Yvonne Harder, half-Sarah Andr, half-Lisa Harder.

Since their last album LOiseau Magnifique, Alice have spent time on the road in cars, in trains, out in the open. Accustomed to writing outdoors, they slowly stitched together a collection of new songs. After two years of performing in clubs, bars, stairwells, carpentry workshops, activist agricultural fairs and roadside shoulders, they took their Oiseau Magnifique just about everywhere. It felt like time to sew these new pieces together a quilt of humour and soft words, something we could really use in these half-sweet, half-fascist times.

Les Chteaux Faibles is the name of one of their latest songs, and naturally, the title of their new album. It captures the groups ethos perfectly a search for refuge in fragility, in a weakness thats better when shared. A collective sensitivity to bring us closer, stronger united in our Chteaux Faibles.
