New sound; musical originality and refreshing lyrics

"One has to admire the vision of this group. They chart their own course, and the music is at once complex and compelling. College radio will get a shot in the arm with this release. Each listening reveals something new in the music's message; these guys have something to say, and they say it. Interesting instrumentation and tasteful use of retro electronica; sophistocated arrangements and emotional, provacative lyrics. This material will challenge musicians and pique the interest of the casual listener. Buy it!"

A new sound that's changing the way we listen to music...

"A style that's never been done before and will never be repeated; completely fresh and new to most people. This is obviously an incredibly talented group who knows exactly what they're doing. Whether you like their music or not, you have to admire them. They are the entrepreneurs of the music world, creating a sound and a style all their own."

Brilliant, haunting, hard to describe...

"This is great stuff. If you had to put a label on Aloha, it'd be something like indie prog rock or free jazz... but what makes them great also makes them hard to describe or to label.Their music is fresh and complex, powerful, filled with cascading rhythms and layers of melody... vibraphone, jazz percussion, rhythm guitar, vocals and double bass... richly crafted but effortless and natural."
