ALASKAS SET YOURSELF FREE

This is such an exciting album; Super raw and full of great ideals. ALASKAS is getting some serious business done in Seattle with just a microphone and some effect boxes. The floor tom and electric guitar are great additions, and This Cloud On My Side is a favourite, but the heart of this is looped up vocals.

Songs build, layer by layer; New bits of Dillon James Rego’s voice appear, distort, echo, and fade into a sea of information. Sometimes he imitates percussion, sometimes he screams, mostly the content is delivered somewhere between singing and yelling; Unshackled is amazing for including all of this. The difference between singing and yelling is something you can learn (and I suspect ALASKAS learned) during the course(creation) of this sonic work.
