In Lounge-O-Sound by Machiniso Featuring Anne-Lise Larsen 4 track EP January 2012 Available iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby As a four track EP, Machiniso's jazz based first-release has been followed up with a stripped back quartet playing live in the studio. The strong vocals from songwriter Anne-Lise Larsen complement the panoramic sounds emitting from Dave Smith's vibraphone. Captured to hard disk by Jeff Lee of Zen Studios, St Peters, Australia, it is crisp, punchy and soaked in the fine electric bass playing from the string master himself, Scott Leishman. It is rare to find music like this from Sydney, let alone the rest of Australia. Indeed, as jazz becomes increasingly marginalised through out the world, the cinematic moodiness and snappy grooves on this album make it a tribute to the black humour of storytelling in song form.TRACK LISTING:

The Weather
Single (Mad Mad Mad Remix) January 2011 Available iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby The Weather was already Anne-Lise's most danceble track on her 2009/2010 album, Planets Aligned, but now it's been given the French House European Pop treatment that Anne-Lise has held so dear. "I've always loved dance music. I grew up in the 80s, loving the extended versions of songs by Duran Duran, Dead Or Alive, Sylvester, Divine and Grace Jones. So, I thought it was about time to do one myself and that's exactly what I've done!" she says, on the release of her first (of many she hopes) extended dance mix, The Weather (Mad Mad Mad Remix). TRACK LISTING: 1. The Weather (Mad Mad Mad Remix) 7:24 Proudly independent. Anne-Lise Larsen © 2011. |

| There are times in life when it all seems to come together...the moments, good and bad, that leave an indelible impression on your soul forever. These are the times we say, the Planets Aligned
Planets Aligned explores themes of personal reflection, dissecting relationships, shattered illusions and the resolution of such with the discovery of new lust, love and finally contentment. Planets Aligned is full of silky masterful lead vocals and backing vocals with a rich layering, reminiscent of 70s soul and disco. Anne-Lise has made full use sound textures, with sweeping string synthesizers, a traditional Fender Rhodes, exotic percussion, beat driven melodic bass lines and a mixture of traditional pop funk style drumming and dance drum loops. Planets Aligned is an album for those who crave passion, human emotion, musicianship, melody and power in their music with a bit more substance than pop, and more accessibility than jazz. Check out songs from Planets Aligned featured in the music player below. TRACK LISTING:1. Rest Of My Days 2. Birds Still Fly 3. A Little Dissonance 4. That's The Way It Used To Be 4. Felt So Good 6. The Weather 7. Could You Be The One (I've Been Looking For)? 8. The Dream 9. Itty Bitty Love Ditty Proudly independent. Anne-Lise Larsen © 2009. |
"Could You Be The One" is the first single from Anne-Lise Larsen's studio album Planets Aligned. "Could You Be The One" is a romantic, dreamy adventure, encapturing the first moments of new romance, and the quietly scary epiphany, that this could be the real thing. The single's B sides consist of two live "audience bootleg" recordings of Anne-Lise at The Basement, Sydney in October 2008 accompanying herself on cello! "Could You Be The One", the single, has a slightly different mix from the album version.

Released in 2006, the title of Anne-Lise Larsen's four-track EP, I'm Alive, is an affirmation of arrival and survival in the music world.
"I'm Alive" was entirely written, composed, arranged and performed by Anne-Lise, and recorded and produced in her studio. Belying its one-woman origins, I'm Alive appeals to a wider, shared experience, exploring tales of love, loneliness, the pursuit of dreams and the seduction of envy. Back Where She Began and Cold Cold City are featured in the music player below. TRACK LISTING:1. Back Where She Began 2. Seize the Day 3. Cold Cold City 4. I Just Wanna Be Rich Proudly independent.
