Aa (say “BIG A little a”) has been honing its unique blend of intensely stylized DIY maximalism in the lofts and clubs of New York since 2002. The component parts – three drumsets, a tangle of synthesizers and samplers, dudes shouting – are simple enough. Yet the experience is an utterly unique and giddily engaging gasp of fresh air, a densely imagined, obsessively structured, hyperactive shoplifting spree through the polyrhythmic post-post-punk digital jungle-mall. Earth-shakingly organic beats,squawking, alien samples and group chant-hooks crash headfirst into blissed-out electronic rave-ups – everybody moves, everybody sweats. And yeah, they do their own fucking light show. Aa has played all over the US, having shared the stage/floor/rooftop with such luminaries as Sonic Youth, TV on the Radio, Black Dice, Lightning Bolt, Japanther, Matt & Kim, etc. After a series of lo-fi releases, the band has finally gone hi-fi, sneaking into the studio to record “GAame”, their 1st full-length, with Billy Pavone (The Fall – “Heads Roll”). -dLTD
