On ALDIE, Beaks explores the space between dreams and reality, examining the internal and external forces that blur the boundaries between the two. Produced in collaborative studio sessions in Vienna with close friend Markus Windisch, ALDIE is replete with literary, cinematic and musical references to filter snapshots of life through her own writings, sometimes existentialist, sometimes orientated towards the pressure of modernity, sometimes both.
Arriving three years on from her debut single ‘I Dropped the Bottle’, ALDIE sees a growth in Beaks’ creativity and emotionally charged, off-kilter sonic world. Through songwriting and true self-expression that embraces contradiction, across the album, Beaks traces the coexistence between ecstasy and despair with lyrical precision.
