As Novo Amor prepares to release 'Cannot Be, Whatsoever', (Ali) Lacey contemplates a past soundtracked by songs of quiet hope and longing. "I can still see the lake upstate when I picture 'Birthplace', the songs sheltered by this place I've romanticised that doesn't actually exist anymore. These new songs feel immediate and noisy in comparison, almost optimistic. If 'Birthplace' is the countryside, then 'Cannot Be, Whatsoever' is the city."
