Aeon Station, featuring Kevin Whelan of The Wrens, releases "Leaves"LISTEN BELOWDebut album Observatory out December 10th via Sub PopOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY Prescription PR “Whelan is as equally expressive and in command on the minimalist piano ballads as on the full-blown rockers… the best music Whelan has ever made.” – New York Times “This is exciting, dynamic, hooky indie rock and if it's not quite a Wrens song, that doesn't make it any less great.” – Brooklyn Vegan “... a heartening return to form from Whelan.” – Consequence of Sound Following his return to music after more than a decade, Kevin Whelan of AEON STATION is offering another look into his upcoming debut album "Observatory", out December 10th via Sub Pop, with the release of the second single “Leaves”. Listen and buy "Leaves" HERE: https:// Premiering today on Pitchfork, the track is a very special piece for one of the main songwriters of the iconic indie-rock band The Wrens. “‘Leaves’ is about finding the courage to leave negative people or situations behind. It is not about giving up or feeling defeated. It’s about learning self-love, finding your voice, and setting on a path for a chance at something better.” After roughly 18 years since The Wrens’ Meadowlands (2003) left the indie rock world in a daze, Whelan surprised last month with the release of “Queens,” the first single from "Observatory". Pitchfork points out that its “reliable Pixies-indebted soft-loud dynamic roars to life in thrilling distorted guitar riffs that remind me of old Weezer B-sides, and just as the song comes to a close, Whelan bursts into a barroom acoustic strummer that slowly fades.” UPROXX added, “The five-minute single starts off slowly but locks into place with crashing percussion and hard-driving guitar. From a sonic perspective, it’s quite the ‘we’re back’ proclamation.” Stereogum called the track “exhilarating” while MXDWN lauded it as “a hypnotic rock song that features an explosive chorus, ripping guitars and ethereal vocal lines creating a mesmerizing wall of sound.” Aeon Station Tracklisting: For more information please contact James Parrish at Prescription PR on james@prescriptionpr.co.uk
