Music Adds: June 9, 2023

(Left) “Beloved indie-pop quartet The Aces kicked off Pride month with the release of their highly-anticipated third studio album, I’ve Loved You For So Long on Red Bull Records. Spanning eleven tracks, the record sees the band reflect on their childhood and unpack how their early experiences with closeted love and religious trauma have influenced their relationships, mental health, and identity in the present.” -Pirate
(Right) “Indie/folk musician EVVAN is a non-binary singer, producer, and songwriter based on Long Island, NY. “Music is our most powerful form of communication, both on a personal level and as a means to reach others,” they say.. “It has the ability to dig deep and help you discover your passions, flaws, and sense of self.” EVVAN’s new EP, The Little Things, dives into all aspects of vulnerability. “Many, if not most, people have difficulty expressing their deepest emotions whether they be anger, sadness, loneliness, even love,” the artist says. Throughout the EP, EVVAN expresses their frustration with the fight for LGBTQ+ rights, their search to find intimacy with someone, and their yearning for comfort in finally admitting their need to be held.”- A Man A Plan A Canal
