Exploring the sweet, dissonant spot that lies somewhere between Shellac, ISIS, Failure, Jesus Lizard, Russian Circles, Slint, and Fugazi, the debut self-titled full-length from New York City trio Aux Era is a legit stunner, luring listeners into lush, expansive, wholly idiosyncratic soundscapes where strange beauty and tumultuous squalls vie for dominance and the cross-pollination of twisty riffs, raw emotion, off-kilter melody, and transcendental atmospherics is rule, not exception.
Check out the album closer “Remedial Math” below and then head to the official Aux Era Bandcamp page to get your ticket punched for the rest of the ride.
