Making her first appearance at the club, Alina Orlova is a singer, songwriter, pianist, artist and multi-linguist from Lithuania, whose debut album 'Laukinis Suo Dingo', is set for release in August through Fargo Records.

Comparisons will inevitably be drawn with equally enigmatic female performers such as Kate Bush, Regina Spektor and Joanna Newsom, but Alina is already blossoming into captivating artist in her own right.

Unusually, Alina sings in Lithuanian, Russian and English. 'Songs instinctively come to me in one of those three languages,' she says. 'Russian is my mother tongue, the one I speak at home with my parents. Lithuanian is my second language, the one I learnt at school and the one I speak in the street.'
