Aisle7 by LehtMoJoe 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."
