LehtMoJoe : Aisle7.
A booty-grooving, intensely melodic, splice-o-matic masterpiece.
This album sees LehtMoJoe confronting the seemingly difficult challenge of pairing the
nostalgic synth-pop from his youth with the more updated polish and electro
sheen fans of his music have come to expect.
What Leht did with the more club-oriented trait of Justice/Daft Punk/SebastiAn
in 2009 he's attempted to do with the wistful sounds of Joe Jackson, Julian
Lennon, Phil Collins and Vanity 6 that he first began recording onto cassettes
from the radio back in the late 80's. "Growing up, we were remodeling our house
and would frequent Home Depot and Payless Cashways for materials on the
weekends, and outside of my brother cutting his finger on a razor blade we found
in the store, or picking up the phones in the aisles and making noises into
them, it was pretty boring," says Leht. "The one constant that would amuse me
however was the song selection that was played in the stores. Hall and Oates,
Phil Collins, and Billy Ocean dominated back then. So this is a throwback to
that kind of music, sonically interesting with memorable melodies."
Helping LehtMoJoe accomplish this task on Aisle 7 were musicians like Max Brown,
Sedrick Stylez, Xavier Marquis, and Sara Dean whose distinctive personalities
played a large part in shaping the album's characteristic attitude. In short
Aisle 7 is full of those rare powerful instances that will one day be
remembered, no doubt, as some of the genre's defining moments.
"I think this album is some of my best work, incorporating techniques from the
electronic based music I am very comfortable with, alongside a more traditional
approach to songwriting," says LehtMoJoe. "For me, there is a greater feeling of
accomplishment creating these kinds of songs. Taking a random lyrical melody in
my head and turning it into a complete track is a bit different from my previous
album, which is more rhythmically driven."
