Al Spx aka Cold Specks is a Canadian singer songwriter with a voice that seems aged well beyond her years. Based out of London and on the verge of releasing her debut album entitled "Predict a Graceful Expulsion" (release date is May 21st) she creates captivating music that has been described as "doom soul." It is permeated with a gospel cadence and a dark tone that can tug at your heart like early African American spirituals, sadly haunting and hauntingly beautiful.
