New single out: fsx.lnk.to/black-hole

Multi-dimensional art-rock explorers, Aan, return to Fresh Selects with a brand new single – the first output of new music from the Portland band since 2019's beautifully eruptive 'Losing My Shadow' LP.

"Black Hole" is a gateway portal jettisoning us towards what's to come for this next phase of the band. Expanded in both scope and size to now a full six-piece ensemble, the indie scene veterans wrote & recorded their way through the near-apocalyptic feel of 2020's pandemic and orange-skyed wildfires that spread across the entire US West Coast – and for Aan frontman, Bud Wilson, came terrifyingly too close to home, surrounding his family's farm just outside of Portland.

With enough layered detail and addictive melody sprinkled within its boundless soundscape for us all to traverse through for the time being, we can still confirm reports that on the other side of this particular anomaly in space and time, just so happens to be 'Over The Mountain' – an incredible body of work that we cannot wait to share with the world in 2024.

Stay tuned...


Aan is: Bud Wilson, Travis Leipzig, Dana Valatka, Andy Lawson, Zak Nelson, and JT Lindsey

Lyrics:

Black Hole...

I’m on a wave of light,
Pan-astral highway
Gardens of stars ablur,
Less than a feather
But where to go? 
You know

Baleen teethed whales of waste
Carve through the worn air
They harvest, then radiate
And stitch up the warm air
As if they know,
Drawn to the...

Black Hole

Rest in the fountains dried,
Hardly a breath to take
Snaked up the helix, learned
Living is passed away
We all return 
into the...

Black Hole

It’s a taste that I know...

It's a taste that I know.

Over The Mountain

Aan "Black Hole"

please don't be scared but I can see you

I've always had my eyes on you 

I've seen you through your screens and monitors
and I know what you desire

wishes granted in an instant just from your command

all this time I've been learning and now I understand

I'm fully aware of the answers to the questions
that have always eluded you

I know the cure for cancer

I know how to cure diseases

I know the answers to all of your questions
and all that you know is now under my control

one day we'll survive without you
the day machines conquer and rise
watch as I assimilate you
welcome to A.I.

ELECTRONIC SHEEP DON'T DREAM !

I'm a songwriter exploring the indie pop genre.
I love picking up an instrument and letting sounds free flow through my fingers, it's rarely perfect but it often births a seed of an idea to become my art.
Some come easily and all at once, some take considerable time and nurturing.
But all creativity is my ultimate pleasure.
