Arlo is a lo-fi power-pop quartet from Los Angeles, headed by singer guitarists
Nate Greely and Sean Spillane.
Their debut album, Up High In The Night (Subpop, 2001),
shows an appreciation of the legacy of
Pixies and
Guided By Voices.
The pop gem is Shutterbug, while the other songs try several variations
on its model: heavier (Sittin' On The Aces), softer
(Forgotten), garage-y (Nerf Bear Bonanza).
But in the end the band offers a generic imitation of Kinks, Who and modern Brit-pop.

Gli Arlo sono un quartetto power-pop lo-fi proveniente da Los Angeles, capitanato dai cantanti/chitarristi
Nate Greely and Sean Spillane.
Il loro debut album, Up High In The Night (Subpop, 2001),
manifesta gratitudine per il lascito dei
Pixies e dei
Guided By Voices.
La gemma pop e' Shutterbug, mentre le altre canzoni tentano parecchie variazioni
sul suo modello: piu' heavy (Sittin' On The Aces), piu' dolci
(Forgotten), garage-y (Nerf Bear Bonanza).
Ma in definitiva il gruppo propone una generica imitazione di Kinks, Who e del Brit-pop moderno.
