+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+
| |
| Alu is a singer/songwriter from the Los Angeles area. But, when we call |
| her a singer/songwriter she tends to lean towards a Bjork and Tori Amos |
| sound over your conventional singers out there. When the record first |
| strikes up and that quite and minimalistic beat kicks in you know that |
| "Lobotomy Sessions" is going to be a special record. |
| |
| The record gives us a lot of different styles and looks. Starting with a |
| track like "Martian Rendezvous" which is very "Bjorkian" in style and |
| substance. The track is built around a lot of odd noises and the |
| occasional string pops in and out of the track. "Casket Salesman" has |
| the structure and the hook that could make it a solid pop song but the |
| music sounds like a mix of Massive Attack meets the Adams Family theme |
| song. But, the results are really cool as the finger snapping and the |
| old rickety noises give it that full effect. "Circus Cosmos" gives out |
| that bedroom recording styles with a sweet track that has a great |
| overall lo-fi sound. |
| |
| Alu's second album is a stunning record that drives you from start to |
| finish. The record is a perfect late night record as it gives plenty of |
| a dark shaded tracks for you to hide underneath and get thrown into a |
| sweet slumber. "Lobotomy Sessions" is a dark and mysterious track that |
| will up Alu's stature. She has a great voice for the downtempo chilled |
| out style of pop. I would love to hear her on the next Massive Attack |
| record as well. -by John Siwicki |
