Here Comes Everyone launches the retooled Aloha machine with a fury of
stick-to-the-ribcage blasts and shimmering ballads. Aloha adds the orchestral pop of the late '60s and the post-prog
rock of the '80s to its big-thinking, rhythm-rich repertoire. Engaging yet
contemplative, Aloha crosses the
experimental/populist divide.
Here Comes Everyone brings the listener on
a fevered tour of post-modernity, from the edge cities to the urban enclaves,
from buried history to the impending future. What can't be painted with words
is told by yearning mellotrons, spikey guitars, and graceful chord changes.
With the help of Don Zientara and Chad Clark at Inner Ear/Silver Sonya Studios (where
new Aloha member T.J. Lipple works
as an engineer), the band sounds warmer than ever, with all the spirit of a
basement-show sensation and the gloss and confidence of an arena rocker.
