Aloha's debut full-length
breathes life into the post-rock amble with an album of tremendous breadth of
mood and spirit. From prog-rock mantras to free-jazz breakdowns,, Aloha asserts itself as a
band that can bring the avant-garde in step with rock's most peculiar nuances.
By this time, Aloha had perfected its unique balance between traditional
songwriting and improvisation through touring. Building on the unique sonic
sound sculptures of debut EP The
Great Communicators, The Interpreters, The Nonbelievers, Aloha makes the pretty prettier and the
fast faster with musical feats ever more daring as the melodies are assertive
and contagious.

"One of the more inspired post-rock albums of the past few years." Pitchfork
|
|
"Take post-rock ala Tortoise and Trans Am, inject it with the unique Midwest melody styling of Braid and The Promise Ring, add Rush and King Crimson's prog tendencies, Coltrane's jazzy quirks, and a member whose full-time job is to create the most beautiful sounds out of vibraphones, triangles and congas....Amazing." Lollipop
|
|
"Jazz-punk-pop-fusion cocktail is super ambitious...sonically fascinating..." UR Chicago
|
|
"It takes guts to try to sell a crowd on the idea of a vibraphone as a rock instrument, and it takes real skill to actually pull it off. Aloha has both." Cleveland Free Times
|
|
"Intricate songwriting, progressive music and a distinct sound--in short beautiful." Rock Paper Scissors
|
|
"That's Your Fire is majestic. I feel like jazz has been re-born for me." Mod
|
|
"Aloha display their dazzlingly accessible post-rock grafting of jazz, prog-rock, spacey electronics and pop...immaculately evocative." All Music Guide
|
|
"To say anything less than 'amazing' would be an understatement. That's Your Fire is beyond words. This is going to be a classic, without a doubt." Lollipop
|
|
"Essential listening for fans of intelligent rock music." Jitter
|
|
"An ethereal, freeform, jazz-tipped element to traditional indie rock, cooking up a rather unique and challenging sonic slurry for fans to digest." Pitchfork
