Dig on New Aan

Leave a comment

aanThe more I listen to Aan, the more I realize they’re crafting precisely what I’ve been looking for in my music. There are nods to late 90s indie rock, though the production is much improved from that era, not to mention the craftsmanship here is more expansive. I hear a natural stomp to this new tune, just before the group slows things down for a momentary bit of respite, and a closing burst that keeps me coming back for more. They release Dada Distractions via Party Damage Records on November 18th.

 

Another New Song from Aan (SXSW Act)

Leave a comment

AAN_web_press_photo_lo-res_jpgWe’ve been covering Aan for some time, and it seems only fitting that we offer up this latest tune of theirs to close out our Friday offerings.  This tune comes from their Amor Ad Nauseum effort, which is available now.  It’s filled with lofty songwriting, soaring vocals, and an organic structure that reminds me an awful lot of Snowmine .  The Portland act has won over pretty much everyone in their homebase, and it looks like with a big tour lined up-including SXSW-they’ll be happily spreading their tunes to all of us outside the Beaver State.

Great New Track From Aan

It’s been quite some time since I last posted about Portland based band Aan (just about a year ago) and I feel guilty as I’ve missed some major news on the band.  Just yesterday, the band dropped their brand new debut LP, Amor Ad Nauseum, via Party Damage.  To make my tardiness right, I’m sharing with you guys this new joint “Bubble Bath Bop”.  The title of the song is quite possibly the best way to describe the track prior to the first listen.  It’s a bright, jangly pop tune that’s equal parts shiny and catchy.

You can also catch this band in all their live glory during SXSW.

New Music From Aan

I’m really into this new song “Spiritual Provisions” from Portland based band Aan and wanted to share it with all you fine folks.  It has a great driving guitar of sorts throughout, with some very impressive belting vocals over a solid backing drum beat.  The song is actually a B-side off a new 7″ from the band.  If you’re into this one, they also have the A-track “Mystery Life” streaming on Soundcloud as well.  Physical copies of the record can be purchased from label Cool Summer Records on February 5th.
