about

“Stunning…9/10” – Hot Press
“A lovingly crafted box of tricks” – Sunday Business Post
“A big, bold indie-pop album bustling with invention and creativity… brilliant” – The Last Mixed Tape

Released at the end of 2014 in Ireland on Self Possessed Records, “Loads” is the first studio album by Alien Envoy, the new musical collective founded by former front man with The Fat Lady Sings and award-winning solo artist Nick Kelly.

“Alien Envoy is my way of being allowed to do things that are more collective, more experimental and more fun”, is how Nick has described his recently adopted musical persona.

Featuring Irish radio hits “Nothing Left To Do But To Dance”, “Sunny”, and “Resolution” (the latter featuring a much-viewed star-studded video) and the anthemic “Break America”, “Loads” has been listed as one of the Irish albums of the year by both the Irish Independent and Hot Press Magazine. Much mention has also been made of Nick’s songwriting:

“The most visual songwriter Ireland has ever produced” – Hot Press
“Ireland’s most philosophical songsmith” – Sunday Independent.
“Why isn’t Nick Kelly hailed as one of the songwriting greats?” – Hissyfit

This praise has just culminated in Nick being voted in at Number 3 in the Best Songwriter category of Hot Press’s annual Readers’ Poll 2015 – just behind Damien Rice and Hozier, and ahead of such luminaries as U2, The Script, Sinéad O’Connor and Glen Hansard.
