Artist Spotlight: Waking Aida

Continuing to trudge ahead with another installment of Artist Spotlight! Today, we venture overseas to Southampton, England and across the diverse and eclectic sounds of Waking Aida. The band consists of Alex, James, James, and Josh. The band has a subtle, low-key sound similar to that of Mutemath with light electro-influences managing to seep their way into the musical framework and providing for a enjoyable and intriguing listening experience throughout. I learned about these guys from their In The Tub interview that they did with Critical Wave UK that has been mentioned endlessly before here on the site, and I decided to give these guys a whirl. What makes these lads unique is their ability to take unconventional sounds and translate it into a format that is easily comprehensible by the listening audience who will gravitate towards their sound each and every time it comes on. A terrific undiscovered band that deserves to get some notice here in the States. Recommended tracks for you to take a stab at include "Hyperdiamond" and "Allergic".
