- 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 ōwaiting for a getaway car that

never cameö in the recordÆs arena-rock-by-way-of-Silver Apples closer

ōRuins,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."
