AIMES - Somewhere In Space We Hang Suspended

Here's a new AIMES track.  This guy has definitely progressed for me, and I'm digging these new sounds alot. There's a ton of euphoric happiness happening in this track, and it's totally relaxing.  AIMES has tapped nicely into the calming section of the brain with this jam.

AIMES Album Review

AIMES - Every Time When I See You by Aimes

I was given the album Your Floor Is Now a Tree a couple weeks ago by newcomer AIMES. I had been meaning to review this for a couple weeks now, but kept having to push it back-- I wanted to make sure I heard the record enough to know what I like, and I figured since this is the first album review on the site, I have to do it justice.

First and foremost, I'm not really sure how to categorize this music-- regardless if you like categorization or not, it helps explain what an artist sounds like to new comers. It's certainly not a house record, as there are far too many slower jams, but it's definitely synthy and out there. Perhaps this is the "chill-wave" I hear so much about?

AIMES - Every Time When I See You (Radio Edit)

Hey everyone, hope you're enjoying your Thursday.  I was recently introduced to a new artist called AIMES.  AIMES has got a nice fresh approach to synth pop-- his vocals nicely straddle modern and the soft spoken 80s.  Combine that with a funky beat and some nice analog synths, and you've got yourself catchy dance music.
