My Old Kentucky Blog Reviews Alameda's "Procession"!

"The album ends with the darkly strummy dirge “Winter Dharma”, where Myles’ vocals sound toastier and sexier than ever, like a warm snifter of finely-aged cognac on a chilly winter night." Listen and read the full review on MOKB.

Eleven PDX Names Alameda "One Of The True Gems" of Portland!

"One of the nicer trends in the music boom as of late has been the returned attention to musicianship. This attention comes in the form of complex song structures and layered, impeccable instrumentals.

Alameda, the self-described "chamber-folk collective," is a fine example of exactly these things. Their newest release, Procession, takes both the "chamber" and the "folk" to heart.  The string work by cellist Jessie Dettwiler is nuanced and grounded, lending an element of continuity throughout the album that exemplifies the soulful restraint that is Alameda's hallmark. Stirling Myles' vocal work fits perfectly in to the album's humanistic ethos, and his finger picking ensures that the music never becomes too precious, rooting firmly in the "folk" element that propels each track." Pick up the latest issue of Eleven PDX out now.

Alameda's Latest Single "Slow Beginnings" Gets Some Love On RCRD LBL!

"Now a quintet bearing a new LP, they have truly evolved their brand of heartfelt Americana, deepening the lushness and musicality that accompanies their hardscrabble vocals. True to its name, “Slow Beginnings” has a somber start that unfolds into a humble orchestra of piano keys, backing songstresses and nimble guitars." Listen to "Slow Beginnings" over on RCRD LBL!

The Deli Reviews Alameda's "Procession!"

"If Alameda hasn’t already won you over with their soft-spoken singing and moving crescendos, then now could not be a better time to check them out. Their second album, Procession, is set to be released on September 15th and with it the band is revealing the next step in their musical progression. The album overflows with emotion, which is expressed as much by the moments of minimal guitar melodies, as it by the cascades of strings and brass that add the power of an orchestra to Alameda’s folk ballads. The delicate balance between these two sides of Alameda is what makes the album so effective in its presentation and so moving." Keep on reading over on The Deli.

Alameda's Forthcoming Full-Length "Procession" Now Streaming On OPB!

"Portland (by way of Denver) band Alameda releases their second album September 15th in Procession, a lush but also spacious collection of songs from the quintet that manages to up the ante over what was a solid debut in Seasons/Specters. That it also comes in the still early stages of frontman Stirling Myles' development as a singer and songwriter (he played bass along with cellist and fellow Alamedan Jessie Dettwiler in the now defunct Strangers Die Every Day) perhaps makes it all the more impressive. Stream Procession in its entirety below." Read the complete interview and listen to "Procession" on OPB.

Willamette Week Highlights Alameda's New Album For Their Portland Album Release Show!

"Procession (unsurprisingly, produced by Point Juncture, WA's, Skyler Norwood at his Miracle Lake studio) is immaculately orchestrated in a way that not only grabs attention but underscores the finer points of Myles' punchy poetry. That helps put the band on at least one of those aforementioned "exceptions" lists: mine." Read the full review over on WWeek.

Alameda's "Oaxaca" Premiered On MOKB!
