Aereogramme - Exits

Balancing on the edge between popular and independent music without crossing the line is probably the most difficult thing for musicians to do - and possibly, the most entertaining when it's executed with grace. When a band manages to extract the best features of typical indie-rock and surround it with their own kind of sensitivity, the music suddenly steps on another level of quality. Although such exceptional achievement may never be repeated, the taste of creative victory remains in every listeners' stomach.

However, reality is a merciless beast. Soon we will meet the second anniversary of Aereogramme's fall. Split up on August of 2007, this Scottish outfit left us with four inspiring releases; each one better than it's predecessor. Reasons of disbanding were prosaic: lack of money and constant trouble with health of vocalist's throat. In view of that, we may once again appreciate things we were robbed of: more shows and CD's of truly talented four.

So today, as a solace, just small sample of their abandoned magic. I'm not saying it's a genuine track, but I can't deny it's a very good one. Awesomeness lies in simplicity, and Aereogramme knew it. Sad that there were not enough people, who simply supported it.
