Aisles, the acclaimed South American prog rock sextet, will tour the United States for the first time in their career to play five dates, including the festivals Progstock in Rahway, New Jersey, and Progtoberfest, in Chicago, Illinois. Aisles will be performing part of their latest record, \u201cHawaii,\u201d a two-disc concept album about human colonies established in space after the destruction of the Earth. Its twelve tracks explore the dilemmas and challenges that the individual and the human spirit would face in this futuristic scenario. Regarding the theme and sound of the album, guitarist and producer Germ\u00e1n Vergara states: \u201cWithout a doubt it’s our most profound work so far. With ‘Hawaii’ we dug deep in search of a concept that could really move us. Our objective was to write music that would emotionally and mentally take us to the place where the events in the album occur: Space.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAll the music on the album was written with our hearts and minds set on the idea of these human colonies, a small group of people who are able to preserve some of the heritage of mankind after the Earth is destroyed. Musically speaking we had never taken so many risks, tried so many different approaches and allowed ourselves this level of freedom to improvise and experiment. I am really proud of what we\u2019ve achieved this time,\u201d Vergara adds. \u201cHawaii\u201d has been acclaimed by specialized media like Prog magazine, Neoprog and All About the Rock.<\/p>\n
\u201c ‘Hawaii’ is a work of genius. A mind expanding experience\u201d – All About the Rock <\/p>\n
\u201cA joyous expression of individuality. One of the year’s highlights\u201d – Prog<\/p>\n
\u201cA masterpiece\u201d – Neoprog<\/p>\n
\u201cSymphonious, mellifluous and happily nostalgic. One of the most far-reaching and rewarding progressive albums of the year\u201d – Raw Ramp<\/p>\n
