AIMING is the work of York-based trio David, Jordan and Laurie. Formed in late 2023, they draw on a love of shoegaze, post-punk and ambient music to create songs filled with driving bass lines, fuzzy electronic soundscapes and ethereal guitars.

Their debut single, Calculations (February 2024), was featured on Tom Robinson's 6 Music Introducing mixtape. 2024 saw them play a series of shows in York, Leeds, Middlesbrough and London, including two BBC Introducing York & North Yorkshire live sessions.

Brainiac is the first single from the band’s debut EP, The Legend. The song combines wall-of-sound guitars with fuzzy lo-fi synths and harmony-rich vocals, underpinned by a driving bass line and heavily saturated 80s-inspired snares.

Lyrically, Brainiac explores the anxiety of growing up in a small town and feeling like you don’t quite fit in.
The song was recorded, produced and mixed by the band in David’s home studio in York, using a combination of analog and modular synths, drum machines, bass, guitar and far too many pedals.

LYRICS: SEAS OF GOLD
i wanna go back east, where the water's cold
i wanna bathe oh in the winter, in the seas of gold
i wanna shiver at the slivers of the sunlight
that hit my eyes in a rhythm that feels just right

kaleidoscopic cracks in the concrete, visions of a bishop marching along to a drum beat
it's vicious to assume, that superstition will resume
to spout out of your gullied eyes, and onto the butterflies

you don't know what you do, and you don't know what you dont,
so just give up the parade, take your float on home
you don't know whether to be another clap inside the beat
another feather in the cap of a slender fella in your sheets
another leaf among the breeze a shade of yellow on the beach
a dandelion petal flying away, up high in the heat

of the sky, as it rises you might realize this
and take it all back you'll take it all back
pin a needle on the facts
dont take it slow, don't go too fast
don't hesitate to burn or crash
just keep recycling those ashes until

you know that you're ready to go

Seas Of Gold

do this for myself,
think about no one else,
i wanna start again,
flowing through like waves,
despite all this praise,
that's not me,
that's not me,
stays on my mind,
days at a time,
this low in my brain,
can't contain,
stays on my mind,
this low in my brain,
can't contain
