Cargo Records

Bystanding

Delicate instrumental shading sets the mood next to the light, breezy, intimate and the mysterious.

Styles swirl and blend in songs which are clever without being contrived and wry without being sarcastic. The listener is rewarded with music that resonates with humility,intelligence,humanity and humour whilst passing the whistle test. Aves' gift is his ability to reference his influences (sometimes several within the space of one song) whilst maintaining the unity and integrity ofmusic which expresses his own personality. Anyone who can deliver with conviction a homage to french cinema in the style of early Stereolab meets the Kinks and Brian Wilson deserves your attention.
