Manchester outfit Alive in Theory comprises the multi-talented songwriter & vocalist Kirsty Mac, and the equally deft multi-instrumentalist Paul Ayre. The pair lay claim to a decade-spanning musical partnership that has developed from humble, albeit innovative roots, to something rather special indeed. Born of myriad influences - from Kate Bush, Muse, Peter Gabriel and Radiohead, to jazz and classical, Bat For Lashes, Sia and Lana Del Ray - with a shared appreciation for the legendary John Grant; the result is an alternative pop overture that's as delicate as it is powerful, as introspective as it is upfront, and as infectious as any of the aforementioned chart toppers. Collaborating with acclaimed engineer and producer Tony Draper to lay the groundwork for this, their debut album "Abandon". The album was written and recorded at Parr Street and Real World Studios in the UK and Manhattan's Avatar Studios in the USA
