MORE ABOUT THE ALBUM
Musically inspired by the late 60’s-early 70’s, Alien Alright’s new album, The Exodus Is Here, adopts the 7-song format and approach of records like The Stooges’ Fun House, Neil Young’s Everybody Knows This is Nowhere and Funkadelic’s Maggot Brain.

In line with that, it allows room for some instrumental exploration and long guitar solos, notably on the 9-minute closer, Record Store Blues. Similarly, it features a raw and unpolished sound, but also some shorter songs, with perhaps more of a mainstream appeal, as in the two intended singles, Unsigned and Proud, and Make Some Noise.

After Alien Alright’s acoustic debut and the Funk-Rock dominated second release, The Exodus Is Here offers another change of musical style, shifting to a heavier guitar sound and venturing into the loose territories of Hard-Rock. It is also the first to include non-looped drums.
