In 2008, Russell entered the studio to record the critically acclaimed album, Pot Of Gold, which was released in November that same year on the Six Degrees Records label in the U.S and Alice’s own label Little Poppet in the U.K.
Alice also collaborated with Ninja Tune's Mr Scruff on "Music Takes Me Up", a single from the latter's 2008 album, Ninja Tuna. Russell toured throughout the end of 2008 into 2009, performing shows in Australia, Europe, Canada and America, stopping off at the South By South West Music and Media Conference in Austin, Texas in March 2009, where she performed four shows. Due to the collapse of Pinnacle distribution in 2008, Pot Of Gold was re-released in October 2009 on the Little Poppet label, accompanied by the release of the 22-track, double CD Pot Of Gold Remixes album, featuring mixes by Mr Scruff, DJ Vadim, Emika and The Heavy, amongst others. The releases were supported by more European and U.K. tour dates.

Then all perquer he should it wit;
And should think freedom more to prize
Than all the gold in world that is.”
