ALU = Possession + Sorcery + Intoxication + Passion On July 15, 2008, Los Angeles-based chanteuse/songwriter Alu returns with her sophomore album Lobotomy Sessions. Often difficult to categorize, Alu's sonic explorations and confessional lyrics - sometimes playful, often bizzare, and always captivating - take the listener on a strange and surreal journey to deepest realms of the body, mind and soul. Her highly cinematic music is a kaleidoscope of classical, jazz, electronic, pop, world, avant-garde, singer/songwriter, and Goth. Though comparisons sojourn through the likes of Bjork, Portishead, Tori Amos and Massive Attack, these are not based on likeness of style, but on originality. Lobotomy Sessions features 10 cinematic soundscapes comprised of Alu's brilliant lyrical observations on modern humanity along with her crystal clear, jazz-tinged vocals and whimsical Fellini-esque compositions. Tracks range from Alu's confident cabaret swagger on "Buzzin' In My Brain" and "The Metrosexuals," to the medieval carnival vibe of "Circus Cosmos" and the gothic rhythms of "Black Cloud" and "Aahhh." Make no mistake, though, because the most important instrument on the CD is Alu's voice and it sounds no better than on the emotional masterpiece "Amy." It's simply breathtaking music from beginning to end. Lobotomy Sessions is the follow up to Alu's critically acclaimed debut album Infomercial Gasmask. Regarded by the press as a "dark shaded masterpiece," Infomercial Gasmask launched a strong international fan base and led to vast interest from music supervisors and filmmakers worldwide. Consequently, Alu has lent her highly visual music to the film world on many occasions. Her soothing song "Last Lullaby" features in the controversial action thriller "Juncture," and this fall, a haunting remix of one of Alu's brand new singles will be included on the soundtrack to Clive Barker's upcoming film "Midnight Meat Train."
