The Aislers Set

Note: I apologize for not keeping up with New Music Friday better. Surgery, head colds, travels to Cleveland , and launching other sites have stood in the way of regular posting. But I’m back on track, loaded with Vitamin C, and ready to rock this lame web site (with other people’s music)!

The Aislers Set’s Amy Linton sings with a soft and innocent voice. When combined with by Wyatt Cusicks stacatto, muffled guitar stabs and Yoshi Nakamoto’s poppy drumming, you end up with a winsome 1950’s - 60’s Polaroid amber tinge over the world. Everything is simpler, hair is larger, recording quality is lower, families are nuclear, boys have names like Moondoggy, Bob Denver has a goatee, girl band names end in “ettes,” and seat belts are not a standard feature.

This is the perfect music for sledding. I don’t know why. I just want to zip up in a puffy snow suit and fling myself down a snow covered hill with this music in my head.
