Aly & AJ

Artist Information

Aly & AJ, comprised of sisters Aly and AJ Michalka, have captivated audiences around the world with their stirring harmonies, relatable lyrics, and unique blend of pop and indie-rock influences. From their early days as Disney stars to their triumphant return to the music scene as independent artists, Aly & AJ have evolved into a force to be reckoned with — transcending genres and leaving an indelible mark on the industry.

Silver Deliverer, the highly anticipated independent sixth studio album from the platinum-selling sister duo, is out today. A career-defining body of work, Silver Deliverer blends sun-drenched California rock, country-tinged folk, and warm, analog textures into an honest and deeply personal album that feels like a love letter to growing up, growing older, and growing free.

Arriving on the heels of the critical acclaim for their 2023 album With Love From, Silver Deliverer finds Aly & AJ embracing full creative control and crafting their most authentic, selfassured, and spiritually resonant record yet. Written and recorded in Topanga Canyon, the album draws from the Laurel Canyon movement while sounding unmistakably fresh and modern. It marks a striking return for the beloved artists — bold, unfiltered, and wholly their own. Brimming with poetic warmth and wisdom honed over the years, Silver Deliverer reflects on maturing, sisterhood, and self-actualization.

Their previous album, With Love From, recorded with a live band at the famed Sunset Sound studio, showcased their genre-spanning artistry, incorporating Americana, folk, country, and indie pop, and featured an array of reflective ballads and anthemic tracks. Critics raved about the album, with Billboard praising the track “After Hours” as one that “pour[s] one out for the night owls,” while Rolling Stone highlighted and endorsed the song “Baby Lay Your Head Down.” The California-native sisters took the album on the road with their nationwide With Love From Tour, which included a milestone performance at Los Angeles’ legendary Greek Theatre — an unforgettable evening of powerhouse vocals, electrifying performances, and a nostalgic celebration of their remarkable discography.

Aly & AJ first burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s with their debut album Into the Rush (2005), featuring the hit single “Rush.” Their music resonated with a generation, blending pop sensibilities with an innate ability to craft infectious melodies. Their roles in Disney Channel projects like Phil of the Future and Cow Belles catapulted them into the hearts of young audiences worldwide. The release of their second album, Insomniatic (2007), showcased their growth as artists, exploring deeper themes and further curating their musical identity. The album spawned hits like “Potential Breakup Song” and “Chemicals React,” igniting the soundtracks of our lives and solidifying their status as superstars.

After a decade-long hiatus, the sisters officially returned to the music scene in 2017, embracing both their roots and newfound maturity, and seamlessly transitioning from pop sensations to indie darlings. Their EP Ten Years marked a triumphant return to their original sound, featuring the viral hit “Take Me.”

Their subsequent releases, including the critically acclaimed EP Sanctuary (2019), showcased a powerful blend of synth-pop, dreamy melodies, and introspective lyrics that resonated with fans old and new. As the duo entered the 2020s, their music continued to evolve, delving deeper into themes of love, mental health, and personal growth. Shortly after, they released their first studio album in 14 years: a touch of the beat gets you up on your feet gets you out and then into the sun. The album, which features tracks like “Listen!!!” and “Slow Dancing,” revealed a newfound vulnerability and an unapologetic embrace of their true selves. Billboard included the album on its list of the best albums of the first half of 2021, and The Guardian named it one of the 50 best albums of 2021.
