somehow i came across aloha’s 2004 here comes everyone, and of course when i say somehow i just dont ever remember buying it, but it just ended up in my collection. if it were a year earlier, i would have blamed my drunken stumblings into my local chicago record stores, but in 04 we were in atlanta and my drunken stumblings through city streets had come to an end (sad face.) maybe i picked it up at criminal records? maybe i downloaded it illegally? i just dont remember?
what i do remember is being totally enamored by it, and really still am. it’s not a pop record, but they definitely have poppy leanings, its not an art-rock record, but thats definitely evident, they and the record are just a mixed bag of influences. usually when a record is a mixed bag, it usually means it disjointed and unfocused, but the men of aloha know how to reel in their influences and make one amazing cohesive sound. i dont remember what my top ten of 04 looked like, but i am pretty damn sure this was near the top.
amazon has here comes everyone
