Alice

Alice is a collection of songs written for a stage adaptation inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice, presented in a restrained, theatrical style that blends art rock with cabaret and chamber-pop elements. Waits's gravelly vocals inhabit sparse piano, muted percussion, and atmospheric arrangements, creating a nocturnal, surreal mood that foregrounds storytelling and lyrical imagery rather than conventional rock dynamics. The album is notable for its intimate, stage-oriented arrangements and darkly poetic, character-driven songs.
