...delicately destructive. Live From Northpark Mall is an electronic pop album that borders on bliss and hints of discomfort at every new turn. Like the moment when all the sounds of modern living form one complex rhythm, Live From Northpark Mall reflects the universal struggle of our own modern suburbia and puts our anxiety, paranoia, and aggravation in musical form, only protectecting us slightly with the beautiful and haunting melodies - an unforgiving mirror at some moments and complete denial at others. Somehow, someway, somewhen, you have heard this before...but probably not while you were conscious.
"Innovative - as Lamb was to Drum and Bass, so too The Aleph can be to IDM. I believe as a live act this group would just about blow the roof off any venue. Expecting an IDM act and then hearing the accompanied lush vocals might come as quite the unexpected surprise! Indeed, The Aleph have performed live with such acts as Sutekh, Hrvatski, and Proem."
"The Aleph clearly aren't content to dole out a run of the mill late night groove album -- they want to keep you enchanted until the evening has slipped away and a new day has dawned."
