Aaron's second album titles Made of Wood was recorded and mastered in Madrid and Reykjavik by Valgeir Sigurdsson (Björk, Bonnie Prince Billy, Camille) in July and August of this year, and mastered in Nashville, Tennessee by Eric Conn and Don Cobb (Raconteurs, Neil Young, Alison Krauss, Willie Nelson) in September. The first single, Made of Wood, is already on all good radios and, with its accompanying video, directed by Alonso J. Luján, on TVs and the web as well.
Aaron was born in Hobart, Tasmania (Australia) in 1976, and has lived in the Ukraine, the United States and now resides in Madrid, Spain.
His first album release was Follow the Elephants (Everlasting records / Recordings From the Other Side, 2008), recorded and mixed in Madrid by singer, guitarist, writer and poet, Julio de la Rosa (El Hombre Burbuja). Follow the Elephants led to invitations to play and sell his record in the US (CMJ and South by South West, in New York and Austin, Texas), the UK (Concrete and Glass, London), Germany (PopKomm in Berlin) and his native Australia (various headline shows and supports in different cities). Meanwhile Aaron was writing, rehearsing with his band - plucked from the best acts on Madrid’s avant-garde and indie circuits – Jorge Fuertes on drums and percussion (Doss, Pleasure Fuckers, NudoZurdo), Javi Díez-Ena on the stand-up bass (Dead Capo, Insecto, Ainara Legardon), Rebecca Lander on backing vocals (The Knot, Roman Lieske, Alek Stark, Kracovia), and Abraham Boba (Nacho Vegas, Julio de la Rosa), and recording a few demos for his new record.
