ALO August 3, 2007

Hot on the heels of a mighty May that saw their second release Roses & Clover (Brushfire Records),greeted with critical acclaim, and a sold-out tour throughout the U.S., ALO (Animal Liberation Orchestra) is riding high on a wave of success toward the High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy, CA, July 8th.

In stores just a month, "Roses & Clover" has critics raving about ALO's gift for crafting sparkling tunes to score the perfect summer road trip, or perhaps, the ultimate soundtrack for staying home enjoying a summer of love. "Their music is one of the most natural aphrodisiacs accessible to human kind," exclaims JazzReview.com. While Hybrid Magazine declares, "The songs are irresistibly catchy and phrased with soothing esthetics that feel like a tropical drink quenching your palate." So with a natural aphrodisiac that soothingly quenches the palate, Relix Magazine playfully sums up the possible effects -- "If 'Roses & Clover' doesn't turn ALO into a national attraction, it will certainly help a handful of college kids get laid along the way."

ALO's lives shows have proven to be just as seductive to not just the ears, but feet of music fans. According to the Philadelphia Daily News, the masterful collective will "free your mind and move your feet with substantial songcraft." The Boston Herald drolly fesses that the abundance of breezy, acoustic jams "would be overkill if not for ALO's way with a melody and knack for pop hooks." Though great songs need a great band to rock the house and give audiences a magical experience. So as the Chicago Sun-Times affirms, "the overall level of musicianship is superb," clearly ALO has that covered.

ALO will be playing at several music festivals and other shows this summer.
