Cool Groove from Alohaha

Leave a comment

alohaAs we all prepare to head off into the holiday season, this song from Alohaha seems like a really great way to sort of wrap up 2015. There’s this slow current that pushes the music along, utilizing slide guitar and other little stabs as the vocals come across in a relaxed fashion. It’s the kind of track that feels like it could be overproduced, ruining the emotional pull of the approach the band have chosen. Airy female accompanying vocals slide in at just the right times, leaving plenty of room for you to get sucked into the track. Just another great reason to keep an ear on these guys as we look forward to 2016.

Chilled Tune from Alohaha

Leave a comment

alohahaAlohaha is a fairly new project, and with this single, it already has me listening closely. It took me a second to place the band’s sound, but I soon settled on a nice little Beck reference, looking back at Sea Change. You’ll hear a stripped down approach to Americana, the sort that really pulls at the emotions of the listener; it should come as no surprise either that the tune, as well as the album, deal with the subject matter of a break-up. Alohaha will release their album in December via Black Rainbow Records.
