A breath of fresh air - familiar but completely original. As addictive as a controlled substance.
GORGEOUS ENORMOUS is AlRoy's debut album, and is co-produced by singer-songwriter Matt Keating and indie rock producer Adam Lasus (Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah). The album is a breath of fresh air: familiar but completely original, and as addictive as a controlled substance. The songs in GORGEOUS ENORMOUS are influenced by artists such as Crowded House and Matthew Sweet. AlRoy's music vacillates between upbeat power-pop numbers with jangly guitars and quietly lilting folk ballads. Featuring an all-star band including drums by Mark Brotter from HEM, bass by Jason Mercer (Ron Sexsmith, Ani DiFranco), and Matt Keating on almost everything else, AlRoy's songs alternately shine with exuberance and melancholy.
From the spaghetti-Western influenced "Reality Song" to the chamber pop extravaganza "Valentines Day," to the grungy "Sound of Revolution," AlRoy's engagingly exquisite voice traverses different genres seamlessly.
Her cover of Helter Skelter ranks up there as one of the best Beatle covers ever with it's subversive take on that 60's classic. It is disturbingly slow and achingly tense; if Charles Manson had heard this one first, he would have never gotten around to killing anybody. |
