Aly & AJ Drop Deluxe Edition Of Acclaimed Latest Album ‘a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun’

Today, Aly & AJ dropped the deluxe edition of their 2021 album and critical darling ‘a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun’, adding four new songs to an LP rich with southern Cali warmth and which the Wall Street Journal said “looks forward to sunshine and summer days and recalls the jangling guitars and warm soundscapes of Fleetwood Mac.” 

New additions like “Get Over Here” (a vibey and primal ode to fresh romance) and “Dead On The Beach” (one of their rawest performances to date, inspired by a real-life near-death experience faced by AJ in the summer of 2020) showcase the sonic and emotional breadth of a record that last year Vogue called the “feel-good album of the summer”.

Following performances on Good Morning America and GMA3 respectively last month, Aly & AJ will also make their late night TV performance debut this upcoming Monday (2.14) on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The appearance follows acclaim for their latest album from The Fader (“Aly & AJ just keep winning”), Line Of Best Fit (“an exceptional record that rounds off what’s been a triumphant return”) and V Magazine (“proves that they’re still just as badass”). Today’s deluxe edition LP drop comes in advance of an upcoming US tour (featuring The Brummies as support) as well as performance spots at The Governors Ball and BottleRock. 

Of today’s release, Aly & AJ said “We feel so compelled to just keep putting music out right now. We feel incredibly close to this material and these 4 songs form an emotional core to the album in their own right. They’re the emotional underside to this body of work.”
