Aloha - Light Works (twowaymonologues.com)

Here's a review I just did for Two Way Monologues:

Aloha – Light Works

By Michael Bulko

The new, ‘sort of’ EP by Aloha, called Light Works, comes across as a beautiful, near monumental force, with a lot of strength, and specifically honesty, to its sounds. I feel like I’d be doing a real detriment to the music by loading this review up with some lame anecdotes that won’t let the music speak for itself.

On a whole, Light Works boasts a very rich and textural sound. It is all unified in the dream-like calm and mountain lake-clarity of the compositions. There isn’t a single moment in the EPs twenty eight minutes that comes across as harsh or abrasive. The album’s cover, which depicts a ghostly tree visage, is a perfect compliment to the accompanying music’s ethereal approach...

You can read the rest here.
