"Big Fish in the Bloodstream" an original song written and produced by Alysia Kraft for the film, SARDINE wins at Berlin Short Film Awards.

At first, it didn’t register with alt-rock singer-songwriter Alysia Kraft that it was her, and only her, voted by Colorado Sound listeners as this year’s winner of the Outstanding Stage Presence award. “It really just has to do with having really good musicians in my court all the time,” she says humbly. “I mean, I think one part of the way that I’ve always been really fortunate in the space of performing is that I’ve always gotten to front a good band.”

“‘Little River’ feels like a classic in the making. A driving outpouring of tension releases through emotionally charged vocal lines brimming with heartfelt poetry.

“We all have a mosaic of moments, or maybe just one, where our innocence was lost. Kraft offers to walk you back to that place, and take you through the motions of youthful euphoria replaced with a knowing sorrow. “

“Cold Mountain” is an earthy folk tune acknowledging the immensity of pain, loss, and struggle as a first step toward healing and making a change.”

Invoking warmth, there’s a feeling of both gratitude and longing for those moments in life which provide simple yet profound beauty. “This song is a light, sunny pop song about basically everything in the world fading out of focus besides the love you're falling into.”
