Aloan

A western electro-acoustic amalgam with a delicious retro feel, the new album “No Fear, No Bravery” by Aloan proves the Swiss group’s ability to renew itself while staying true to its origins. Make no mistake, they are big! Already in 2010, the German-speaking radio station DRS 3 voted the group “Swiss Top Band” of the year. The sound is hot, up-close and personal, held aloft by the intensely husky voice of Lyn M and the unique flow of the charismatic MC Granite. You can get ensnared very quickly in the sheer voluptuousness of the 12 superb tracks of their new opus, particularly the two excellent singles “What the hell is this for?” and “Merry-go-round” which send a dance alert tingling down the legs.
