Listen to three songs off the compilation right now.

Marimba-loving indie vets Aloha are releasing their seventh album and first in six years, Little Windows Cut Right Through, next week (5/6) via Polyvinyl, and they're now streaming it in full. As mentioned, they're taking an overt '80s-style approach this time (with The Blue Nile and Prefab Sprout namedropped as influences), and much of the album makes that very clear...

They've already released two songs off the record, "Signal Drift" and "Faraway Eyes," the latter of which is a great example of the '80s influence they have on this new record. (They recently shared a playlist of songs that influenced the album, including Prefab Sprout, The Blue Nile, and Tango In The Night-era Fleetwood Mac, to give you an idea.) We're premiering a third single, "Don't Wanna Win," which has less of that synthy shine and more in the way of clean, jangly guitars.
