With its latest release, 'electro', aalacho respectfully cribs from the likes of Kraftwerk, OMD and The Smithereens to create its own audio niche. Wearing its DIY heart on its sleeve. aalacho invites the listener into an engaging world of haunting melodies, unpredictable arrangements, retro-synths and a surfeit of shimmering, buzzing guitars. Working a second time with New York City guitarist Sam McIlvain (Tryst, The Davenports), 'electro' also incorporates a number of Seattle musicians into the mix - guitarists Chris "Reemus" Brown of Jasper the Cat and Derek Armstrong of the lamentably defunct The Vacants, plus indie vocalists Joe Randazzo, Trevor Hesse and Sarah Severson, not to mention the included remix by electronica stalwart Felix da Housecat.
