Aphrodite
Typically, the end of the year brings us smaller selections of new releases. It’s probably due to the intense schedules so many industry folks hold throughout the year, mixed with the need to spend some time with friends and family around the holidays. This year, though, we’ve had no shortage of great tracks to cover, and our next highlight comes via New York-based duo Aeroplane Mode.
We’ve had these two on our radar since their first release, just a month ago, but this is actually the first time we’re writing them up. What caught our ear with “Aphrodite?” Well, there are Jess’ ethereal vocals, which carry equal parts finesse, range, and power. Her vocals effortlessly convey her story of finding love from adolescence to maturity, roping the listener in after just the first verse. The backdrop for those lyrics is equally impressive, bringing a myriad of fluttering synths, booming percussion, and softly strummed guitars, all of which create an expansive soundscape.
Seeing as how this is just the second song from these two, you have the unique opportunity to get onboard early. We highly suggest you do so.
