Aerial Love Feed sounds like the exact moment a rocket breaks through the atmosphere, transitioning from the violent roar of the engines to the silent, shimmering weightlessness of space. Their music is built on a foundation of massive, reverb-drenched guitar walls that manage to be both aggressive and incredibly melodic. It is a sound that captures the grit of a New York basement show and filters it through a cosmic, psychedelic lens.
What sets them apart is the balance between Wade Settle's grounded, slightly nasal vocal delivery and the soaring, dizzying swirls of guitar noise. While many shoegaze bands disappear into a wash of abstraction, this band maintains a driving, rhythmic power that keeps the songs from drifting too far away. The production by Keith Cleversley adds a professional sheen to the noise, ensuring every sparkling melody cuts through the dense layers of distortion.
Start with the track 'Five Miles Into the Atmosphere' to experience their sound at its most potent. It is a masterclass in building tension and releasing it into a shimmering, euphoric climax. If you enjoy the noisier, more muscular side of dream pop, this is an essential addition to your rotation.
