OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE

Acclaimed folk artist Alex Roberts breathes new life into his album Love & Supernatural with a remix and remaster, along with all-new bonus tracks. Releasing Oct 28th of this year, the 17-track epic reimagines the timeless LP for a new decade complete with cutting edge production.

As its name reveals, Love & Supernatural explores the realms of romance and magic alike. Inspired by Roberts’ own magical practices, Love & Supernatural twists and turns through stories grand and intimate, with shades of something beyond our known world. These tales are weaved through the artist’s raspy, emotive vocals, and intricate six-string arrangements.

These qualities are on full display on the album’s lead single and opening track ‘Wandering Aengus’. Based on W. B. Yeats’ 1897 poem ‘The Song of Wandering Aengus’, the single opens the album as it means to go on. Sonically playing with medieval themes, and mirroring bard’s tales with its construction, Roberts recontextualises timeless tales for a modern setting.

Love & Supernatural carries on Alex’s songwriting philosophy ‘write your own gospel, love your own myth…’, with a myriad of tales from a wide range of influences. From ‘To Abeona’ written for the goddess of journeys and someone close to the artist who had gone missing, to ‘The Jolly Boat’ written in the throes of a wild storm, and the ode to the artist’s old local Dorset pub ‘By The Stour’.

Alex’s fantastical life takes form beyond his music. A self-professed enthusiast of magic, synchronicity and the ancient practices of pre-Christian Europe, Roberts enjoys life outside the confines of the modern rat race. These troubadourist influences are front and centre across Love & Supernatural – an album less your standard collection of songs and more an epic recounting adventures big and small.

The remastered album updates the original 2013’s tracks, and adds 5 new live bonus performances for fans to enjoy. Love & Supernatural (2022) will also see Alex Robert’s discography become available across the major streaming platforms for the first time.

Love & Supernatural will be available everywhere October 28th.
