- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Here's the seventh release from one of the best and most underrated indie
bands of the last decade and a half. It's a really great record, definitely a
step up even for them. Buy it in a nice digipack or on double 180g vinyl.
"Aloha follows the acclaimed LP Some Echoes (2006) and acoustic EP Light
Works (2007) with a powerful record that shows the band unbound by past
influences and boldly stepping out of the shadows. Home Acres pushes the
tempos and dials up the guitars, with the bandÆs slow-burn intensity
sometimes overflowing into huge moments. But even as the energy surges, Aloha
casts an otherworldy glow, serving up ambience and attack with equal measure.
Lyrically, Home Acres tries to sort through the wreckage of the Great Lakes
region and a way of life. Left abandoned ôwaiting for a getaway car that
never cameö in the recordÆs arena-rock-by-way-of-Silver Apples closer
ôRuins,ö weÆre left to think that maybe we ought to have dreamt bigger and
fought the urge to disengage. A suggestion that Aloha has taken to heart for
its biggest, brightest record to date."
