Saved By Radio
After delivering two albums of beautiful laptop folk the three members of Edmonton’s AA Soundsystem have gone their separate ways. Luckily for fans principle songwriter Ayla Brook wasted no time getting back to the studio. Not surprisingly Brook still pumps out the same kind of smooth roots-rock but this time the focus is clearly on his vocals and lyrics. With Danny Michel in the producer’s seat the album is crisp yet warm offering hand-plucked lullabies and Stones-inspired rockers with equal ease. As hook-heavy as it is thoughtful Brook’s solo debut is the beginning of something magical.
