miamante Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 We're extremely excited to announce our next release: Aloha "Light Works" Picture Disc 12"...handnumbered and with silkscreened inlays. The record looks like this: This collection of seven new Aloha songs was conceived to be an end-of-the-calender-year pleasant surprise: a care package or a thank you note to fans and anyone who might be curious. But Aloha has a problem doing anything halfway, and the result is a set of Aloha’s most gorgeous, ambitious and fully-realized songs. Instead of saying thanks, Aloha is probably saying hello to a bunch of new listeners. Each song is based on Tony’s acoustic guitars, but the world they inhabit is vintage Aloha: richly detailed, moody, intensely rhythmic and flowing with melody. It’s probably Aloha’s most inviting release, in spirit and in sound. Aloha multi-instrumentalist and studio wizard T.J. Lipple mixes in the studio magic while leaving the free-spirited vibe of the recording sessions intact (the EP’s closer, for example, is mainly a song written over an improvised piece). Piano, brass, oddly tuned guitars, drums, bass, mallet instruments and vintage keyboards fill out the arrangements.

scottheisel Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 That looks awesome; any chance of you wholesaling some to Virgil? I'd love to get one but don't want to drop all that money (stupid US dollar). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scriptedrain Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Nice! I didn't hear the comparison to "Transatlanticism" that Pitchfork brought up, but a decent EP (or whatever this is being called) nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dietrich Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 have you ever the band text? also ex-refused, can't remember which member though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamante Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ex-Refused, huh? Which guy? Magnus Björklund. He played guitar in Refused for a couple of years. Later on he sang in Cobolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should write Virgil directly (he doesn't get a chance to read every thread on here), his email is virgil (at) suburbanhomerecords (dot) com. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you!

miamante Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I wrote to info (at) sub... back in december and got no reply. However, I'll try again. Thanks a lot for your help and interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Wow, that does look nice. Going to check this band out now. Also, I would be stoked if you sold a few things threw Virgil as I would like that Gregor Samsa and Owen record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'd buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I'd love one of these too- doesn't look like PolyVinyl is going to stock it in their store and the shipping from Germany would kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamante Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 I know, shipping charges for orders to the U.S. are enormous. I'm thinking of paying half of the costs for people who are registered here for a short period. Would that be an option for you? Moreover, you could save shipping costs if you ask your friends and place one order: 1 record = 8 Euros, 2 records = 12 Euros, up to 4 records = 13 Euros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 As much as I'd love to get one, I wouldn't want to leave you holding the shipping costs! Maybe if we organized everyone ont he board who wanted to buy one, we could all split the cost of bulk shipping. Or is that too complicated for everyone... I'm new here!

scottheisel Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 We've done bulk shipping like that but I think there's enough of a demand here for Virgil to stock it. Let's see what happens Monday when Virgil's back in the "office." (Dude's probably wasted 24/7 this weekend due to the Drag The River shows.)

dialoguefromamovie Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 It looks even better in person, and it sounds fantastic. It seems just a bit faster than the cd. Also, Polyvinyl just added it to their store today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamante Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 yes, a few copies arrived at the polyvinyl office yesterday. they are $15 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
