Frames (New LP)

ALO – “”Frames”” The 10-song LP boasts a seamless fusion of rock, electronic, alt-pop, R&B, folk, funk and a touch of subtle wit, played by an exceptional group of musicians – all of whom write and sing lead. When things may seem a bit dark, Frames offers a joyful escape by a band of life-long friends who became serious artists, who don’t take themselves too seriously while creating some seriously well-crafted songs, including “”Blank Canvas”” which features a melodic guitar riff and easy-going vibe, and much-needed optimism.
