Last month, Indie Buzz longtime favorites Aer released their sophomore self titled album. Personally, I felt that their 2012 debut album The Brightside was an instant classic. Aer has a unique sound which blends elements of hip-hop, reggae, and alternative together to create a new genre which they call “surf rap.” If you haven’t listened to The Brightside yet, you are certainly doing yourself a disservice. Aer’s signature sound is in their use of harmonizing vocals and acoustic guitar production. Imagine Kid Cudi as the lead singer of Sublime and you get Aer. In this time between the release of The Brightside, and this self titled album there’s been no shortage of music. In 2013 Aer released their Strangers EP, and Reeves (one half of the duo) released his mixtape Monkey Barz in the summer.
