The Animal Liberation Orchestra or ALO are amongst my favourite bands to have on when I need that extra bounce or pep in my step. Their latest effort, Frames, is true to that formula, with each member of the quartet providing excellent musicianship, and vocal harmonies with a side order of smiles and fun. I recently had the chance to sit down with guitarist Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz to talk about the quartets latest album release, and a whole lot more…   First song: Blank Canvas Second song: Space Between Frames  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You’re definitely going to want to check out the new release from LaMP entitled One of Us out now wherever you listen or buy music. For the uninitiated LaMP features drummer Scott Lawton and keyboard player Ray Paczkowski famously of the Trey Anastasio Band and guitarist Scott Mezger who has been toiling with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead amongst other side projects. Together, the trio puts out very cool jams that play off of their improvisation chops and decades of playing a range of music styles. While the tunes all start out with a groove Russ Lawton provides, they grow organically as the other two musicians colour in with their instruments over top. Together the trio amass tunes that are eclectic yet very much recognizable as LaMP tunes. I caught up with Russ Lawton to talk about where things are at with LaMP and of course we discussed the very compact yet thorough One of Us an album worth getting into your ears soon. Here’s how the conversation went.   First song: Nice Girl Second song: Jasper's World  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
