Safe Travels, the latest offering from Christina Alden & Alex Patterson, is an immensely well-crafted follow-up to their 2021 album, and while familiar, it rapidly delivers unexpected treats. From its beautiful illustrations and fascinating text to the final notes of The Mountain Hare, Safe Travels left a deep, appreciative smile on my face. It’s only May, but I feel I have a strong contender for my album of the year.

Christina Alden and Alex Patterson’s long-awaited second album, Safe Travels, is released on 9th May. Watch them performing the heartfelt ‘A Hundred Years Ago’ live.

The lyrics on Christina Alden & Alex Patterson‘s Hunter, are intentionally thought-provoking while the album’s lightness of tone, together with the often deceptive simplicity of the arrangements, have the power to transport you to the wide-open spaces evoked by many of the songs.

Christina Alden & Alex Patterson, of Alden Patterson and Dashwood, share their video for “Hunter”, a song inspired by the real-life bond of a wolf and bear. It’s also the title track of their new album due for release in May.
