Here Comes Everyone:Aloha

Title: Here Comes Everyone

Label: Polyvinyl

Genre: pop infused prog-rock

Rating: 6.7 of 7

Ohio’s Aloha bring a well polished combination of orchestral pop and post-prog rock to the already proven Polyvinyl roster. Here Comes Everyone is an extremely solid album that derives its sound not only from the previously mentioned but also experimental, jazz and post-rock. They smoothly transition from angular to elegant as the album progresses, backed by brooding soundscapes and the yearning voice of Tony Cavallario (whose voice is perfect for the vibe and even gets John Lennon-stylie on the album closer). It’s hard to believe that this record was created by only 4 people; most songs sound like it took a symphony to produce. They also have achieved what most artists only dream of, being accessible and experimental/progressive at the same time. This CD needs to be filed in the emotional opus section of your collection, directly between Wilco and Sigur Ros.
