Alas, Alak, Alaska! | th

'ALAK' began in 2005 as the solo project of Jocelyn Noir originally under the moniker 'Alas, alak, Alaska!'. The latest and ALAK's first ever full-length release 'Clarinettis Qoonotations: Too Many Notes; fucking preternatural and the golden weave of g-nashing teeth' came-out on Kaleidoscope Records (UK) in the spring of 2009. The record has been received well by reviewers and made it to number 9 on the college radio station KDVS 90.3fm's (out of Davis, CA) top 30 list for January 2009.

" Sinister and vulnerable and unrepentant, Alak's notes are good and bad karma, pluck and luck and despair... a conspiratorial meeting of your inner voices in broad nightlight." -Lauren Strain, Plan B Magazine

"Exposing oneself to ALAK's black cauldron for forty-two minutes proves to be a more than satisfying proposition." ---June 2009 http://www.textura.org

"Each song is unique in its implementation and the lyrics filter through like the lines of a spoken word poem... Alak's melodious and experimental combination make the album rather beautiful and accessible. I highly recommend that you pick it up and get cozy." ---July 2009 Clinton Gibson, KDVS 90.3fm .
