Aly & AJ - Silver Deliverer (2025) (Hi-Res)

“Silver Deliverer, the new album from Aly & AJ, burst into life in Topanga Canyon, California as a collaboration between the band Aly & AJ and the producer Jonathan Wilson. Recorded with analog methods and tracked with vocals and live band together at the same time, in the same room, the recordings are an organic document of what it feels like to be female recording artists in 2025 forging a path toward the spiritual and healing powers of rock music. This album is a look into the souls of Aly & AJ. It's also a portrait of motherhood: Aly gave birth one week into the cutting of the album. She spent one week at home and then finished the last three weeks of recording with her newly born son in her arms. And the songs were a link to the sounds that permeated her own childhood: the west coast melodies and harmonies of The Beach Boys.

It all makes for a terribly exciting soundscape, full of ripping electric guitar surging through vintage tube amps, live drums carefully tuned and run through impeccable outboard preamps and compressors, and dozens of exotic instruments played by an all star lineup of session musicians.

Aly & AJ, real life sisters, have that family harmony that stops listeners in their tracks. This is rock music for those who love the Laurel Canyon sound, the tradition of west coast harmony, the lure of the ocean and the pull of the hills and canyons filled with dandelions and eucalyptus trees. This is rock music for wistful lovers, new mothers, and those who believe in divine intervention. And for listeners looking for a bit of hope and a deliverer in their own life.

Aly & AJ's album went straight from the Five Star Studios in Topanga Canyon cutting room into Jonathan Wilson’s Cadac G console made in '75 for Pye Studio in London, and was tracked with vocals and live band together at the same time, in the same room, in part to tape but always with the most analogue signal path available. It’s a melodic testament to the singular power of sisterhood, and the fabric of spending a career on the road traveling from town to town: this is the most intimate look into the Aly & AJ many have come to love over the past 20 years.”
