Today kiwi singer-songwriter Corban Koschak, who creates under the guise of This Pale Fire, celebrates the release of his debut album Alchemy. A collection of carefully selected gems from his time up in Matakana writing songs with fellow New Zealand artist Levi Patel, this impressive debut work balances subtle, more ambient tracks like 'Northern Lights' with darker, angstier creations such as 'End of Science'.

The intriguingly introverted young artist has been slowly attracting the attention around the globe. Mark our words - he is one to watch. Earlier this year, The Huffington Post premiered 'End of Science', while his gorgeous new single and video for 'Curse' premiered on hhhhappy this week, who said of it: "Sinister and wicked, yet somehow infectious... falling nothing short of stunning."
