Album Description ALO may be describing the inspiration for their release Roses & Clover however, it best summarizes the band's newfound approach to their music. For a band accustomed to performing songs live for years, crafting and shaping hundreds of times over before entering the studio, the age-old process of recording an album first was, well... liberating. On Roses & Clover, ALO explored new methods of collaborating, finding a richer, more mature sound built on their individual songwriting strengths. Recorded in a turn-of-the-century barn in the hills overlooking colonial Santa Barbara, the four musicians holed themselves up for two weeks with little more than their favorite instruments and 40 songs in various stages - 80% of which had never been performed on stage.

CD ReviewsTheir Best Yet Noah Cole | 05/10/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) " If you've never heard ALO, this album is a good place to start. Whenever people ask me to describe the Animal Liberation Orchestra I inevitably choose from a list of other bands where they've drawn their influence, be it The Band, Paul Simon, their friend Jack Johnson, the Grateful Dead... but even a mash-up by all these artists won't describe their funky, mellow sound. But this album does a great job of showcasing their musical chops, songwriting abilities, and occasionally silly lyrics. To date ALO have recorded four albums, but only 2 that could be considered "major" albums (Fly Between Falls Fly Between Fallsand this one, Roses and Clover). I love Fly Between Falls, but this offering is head and shoulders above FBF. Roses and Clover is well produced, well recorded, and the fact that the album was createdin a single month rather than drawn out of multiple sessions comes through loud and clear -- a cohesive and consistent sound from start to finish. I highly recommend this album! " ALO: Roses & Clover carol greene | Sunny Marin, CA USA | 02/09/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I heard ALO live, opening for Michael Franti & Spearhead and immediately bought their CD. Zach has a mature wonderful singing voice. Their songs are well written and the studio recording on this CD is fantastic. It has been a long time since I heard music this refreshing." Worth Every Penny Jeffrey M. Thompson | OHIO | 06/30/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "This ablum is by far, better than Fly Between Falls. If you like long guitar riffs, than this is the album for you. Dan Lebowitz doesn't let you down on this album, especially on Maria. Zach Gill continues his great lyrical work on this as well. I just recently saw Jack in Detroit and Zach was along side him, which left me wanting more, so I deceided to download this one, and is worth any penny. If you are looking for more ALO, check out Jack Johnson's and Friends DVD Live At The Greek, for some live ALO"
