Aloha - Home Acres

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 boldlystepping out of the shadows.Home Acres pushes the tempos and dials up the guitars, with the band s slow-burnintensity 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 anda way of life. Left abandoned waiting for a getaway car that never came in the record sarena-rock-by-way-of-Silver Apples closer Ruins, we re left to think that maybe we oughtto have dreamt bigger and fought the urge to disengage. A suggestion that Aloha has taken to heart for its biggest, brightest record to date.
