Continuing to showcase her musical prowess, Alu returns to us with a lovely second album, Lobotomy Sessions. Ten theatrical tracks complete the collection, spanning multiple genres, to create a delightfully strange audio journey.

Dark and goth, playful and light, classical and electronic -- the styles often contradict one another, yet still piece perfectly together as a whole.

There's no question this album is bizarre, deep, and whimsical -- and passionately so. Alu intrigues easily, and doesn't need flashy instrumentals to do so. The melodies are soft, not boring, adding interesting backdrops for her beautiful voice, which tells a story with every breath. "Buzzin' in My Brain", "Circus Cosmos", "Recluse", and "Black Cloud" especially are songs surely fit for an exotic theatre production. Uniquely spellbounding, Alu has an entrancing quality that refuses to be ignored.
