Some Echoes (CD)
Aloha loves a bit of everything (60's orchestral pop, prog rock, 20th century composers, iconic songwriters), but they don't dabble here and there. They meld it all to make their own, unmistakable noise on this, their fourth album.
"Aloha makes warm, progressive rock with a dreamy, resonant aftertaste. The early Genesis-inspired four-piece has skillfully crafted an ambitious and intriguing fusion of pop, punk, and jazz rock" - CNN.
"A perfect laser show soundtrack for the art school set" - Entertainment Weekly.![]()

| Out of all the CDs I have purchased lately, I can't stop listening to this album. A lot has been made of how the band no longer has Eric Koltnow on vibes, but two of the best songs (in my mind), Brace Your Face and Weekend, utilize the vibes to great effect. Summer Lawn is a good example of their post-vibe direction though with its frenetic organ. Tony Cavallario's singing is the best it has been on this album, and I also really like his bass heavy guitar stums--they contain good amounts of space/breathing room. Cale Parks' excellent drumming is also worth noting, especially on the aforementioned Brace Your Face, but I already knew he was going to be one to watch after hearing Ferocious Love from That's Your Fire. | |
