​Ayla Brook and the Sound Men (from the album Desolation Sounds available on Fallen Tree Records)Dubbing their recent release Desolation Sounds, Canadian's Ayla Brook and the Sound Men present the album title as one of the items on a short list of survival tools. As a Rock’n’Roll guitar steers the course for “Refuge Cove”, Ayla Brook and the Sound Men make a vow to keep their heads above water claiming ‘I got this refuge cove and desolation sounds’. The complete destruction hinted under the name of Desolation Sounds disappears once the music begins. Ayla Brook and the Sound Men encouraging the new dawn to bring its best on the melodic marching beat of “A Little More Light” as the rhythms carves a current under the admissions in “(I Think I) Hit My Limit”. Dreamy twang melts with “Love & Laughter” while Desolation Sounds feels the gravity of love on the lighter-than-air sonics of “Who Are You” and catches a ride with a highway song in “Lift You Up”.
 
The rhythms are potent the melodies bright as Desolation Sounds gathers its songs in a musical quilt when Ayla Brook and the Sound Men stitch shimmering AM 60’s Rock’n’Pop, complete with girl group harmonies and a solid backbeat, on “All I Wanted to Do”, sigh with breaths of ambient electrics over the front porch Folk of “Little Birdie”, and follow along behind handclaps trudging across in “She Smiles Like a River”. A confession is the gateway for Ayla Brook to weigh in the technology blanket we wear when he is joined by Kimberley MacGregor on vocals for “Floated So Far” as Desolation Sounds scratches a small town Rock’n’Roll itch with “Cheap Microphones and an Old Guitar”.
