Aaron & The Sea are an American "Nightmare-Pop" band
Formed 2008 in Minneapolis by best mates Aaron & Alex.
Originally intended to be a dinosaur synth-pop duo.
Sound:
Dark, atmospheric synth-pop.
Studio engineer refers to the band's sound as Murder-Pop; a lo-fi eeriness, dark synth sounds, driving rhythms…overlaid with very accessible or 'pop'-esque vocal melody.
Draws a likeness to The XX, TV On The Radio.
Live Performance:
Instrumentation is largely electronic.
Electronics are well integrated into live instruments, looping and sampling.
