His Name Is Alive is a band that is constantly redefining itself and its sonic standards. Detrola is louder, stranger, sexier, weirder, more complicated, more suggestive, and even more violent than could be expected from HNIA. In many ways, this album reminds us of the records Prince cut back when he was alone in the studio with a crazy head full of good ideas. This collection of summer songs and late night confessions are filled with unexpected noises and has a critical eye fixated on clouds, unicorns, creepy-crawls, harps, drownings, and saxophones. HNIA songs are filled with sweet dreams and nightmarish visions lined with references to pop
culture history, art, and politics.

""HNIA, whose trademark has been mixing paradise with purgatory, have made an odd little Eden, that's both peaceful and disorienting."" - SPIN

""Stunning intimate electronica."" - MOJO

""His Name Is Alive is one of the most remarkable creations of the pop
underground...it will stand the test of time...Like great movie
directors, Defever is making a legacy more than anything."" - Dusted
