Alo Ver's newest song "War in the Woods" features an old time, grassroots feel with her clawhammer banjo style and silky vocals that offer a profound and relevant message to the current state of our relationship with the environment. First written for a class at the University of North Carolina, the project grew into a song that displays the growth lyrically and musically Alo has undergone since her last release. The song is a beautiful combination of nature sounds, traditional folk elements, and Alo's new take on her genre-defying music that resonates deeply in the emtions of listeners. Along with the song, Alo created a visual shot around the woods of Carrboro, NC which can be found on her YouTube page.
