The Still Life is the third album by Alessi's Ark.[6] The album was produced by Andy LeMaster in his studio in Athens, Georgia over a three-week period and Nic Nell in his London studio. It features 12 songs written by Laurent-Marke, including re-recordings of two songs (Money and Pinewoods) from the Rough Trade bonus CD that came with her debut album Notes from the Treehouse, and a cover of The National's Afraid of Everyone. It was released on April 15, 2013 in the UK and on April 30, 2013 in the US.[7]

Plug in Music praised the album, calling it "a rich 13-song collection, imbued with a reflective sparkle by young singer/songwriter Alessi Laurent-Marke".[8]
