Alissic’s year of firsts in 2022 has set the stage for her to flourish. With a sound that balances between pop and glitching electronica, a fashion-focused aesthetic, and a mystery behind her that makes everything feel out of this world, she’s only going to keep rising.

Alissic’s 2022 was one of integral firsts. While she may have released her debut single ‘Like’ in 2020, it took until last year for her first-ever live show to take place. This bringing to life of her artistic vision - including a slot at last year’s Great Escape proving ground down in Brighton - sealed Alissic as a performer proper, and set her on the course that signing to Ministry of Sound in 2021 readied her for.

Moving readily from these milestones to releasing a couple more singles, including August’s hyperpop-edged ‘bugfood’, the alt-pop persona Alissic is building is one that confidently totes hypnotic tunes that relish in a pop glow while exploring the outer reaches of where sounds like this can go. Even the visual aesthetic balances the weird and wonderful with a fashion-focused eye, a benefit from her time as a model. With all these elements colliding, it makes everything feel as out of this world as her purported origin story wherein her parents encountered a UFO nine months before she was born (that’s not to mention her fangs, a matching set with her husband, Bring Me’s Oli Sykes, that she sprouted after being bitten by a vampire) - it’s all a mystery waiting to be unravelled.
