HOUSE & HOME
Available on Future Oak Record Co.
“Arlo Aldo’s “House and Home” is a slow, soulful slice of heaven.”
– Sound Scene Express
“Here every love story is a ghost story, every loss a concentration of life.”
– Wake the Deaf
Behind the strength of Zelie(2013), Spin the Twine EP (2014), and House & Home (2016 Future Oak Record Co.), Arlo Aldo has carved out a respectable indie folk niche in Pittsburgh, with frequent forays into the Midwest and the East Coast. Arlo Aldo’s sophomore full-length release, House & Home, features David Manchester (guitars, vocals), Ariel Forbes (keys, vocals), Susanna Meyers (bass, vocals), Brandon Forbes (drums) and Jessie Hoffmann (viola).
When performing live, the strength of David and Jessie’s harmonies balance with finger-picked guitar, mandolin and viola. The intimacy of the two-piece arrangement lends itself perfectly to any song from the Arlo Aldo catalog and draws the audience in for an extremely personal and memorable live-music experience.
In 2018, Arlo Aldo is excited to release “Two-Piece Promenade,” a stripped down, duet-style EP featuring David Manchester (guitar and vocals) and Jessica Hoffmann (viola and harmonies) stripping the songs down to their bare essentials, breathing new life and a sense of intimacy to their catalog of songs, as well as introducing a few new ones as a hint of what’s to come.

HOUSE & HOME
Channeling a more optimistic Jason Molina-style songwriting with the atmospheric tenor of Wilco’sBeing There, Arlo Aldo’s sophomore record emerges from the multiple genres that informed 2013’s Zelie to create a more mature and focused indie folk and alt-country timbre. The dark, yet hopeful tones that form House & Home situate a cast of varied and compelling characters firmly in the mythos of indie Americana’s most earnest themes: family, hope, regret, love and death. Musically, the album features both a stripped-down house show vibe right alongside a meticulously layered vocal feast for your ears, simultaneously intimate and sweeping. Throughout the entire record, the gripping melodies and hauntingly beautiful harmonies from David, Ariel and Susanna permeate the musical atmosphere. This is a limited vinyl run of 300 featuring artwork designed and pressed by the fine folks at Tiptype. Each record includes a unique download code.
