Rising shoegaze solo artist Lone Aires shares the swirling, atmospheric new single ‘Delirious’.
Ethereal, vibrant and effortlessly beautiful, ‘Delirious’ captures the essence of Lone Aires’ sonic approach with rich delay soaked guitars, driving drums and subtle yet infectious vocal melodies, warmed by a sense of heartfelt emotion. Melancholic yet uptempo, carrying a driving sense of purpose, the track is both thoughtful and exciting.
Produced by the renowned Dennis Borger (recognized for his work with artists like Betterov, Temmis, and Traumatin), the track showcases the rich musicality which Lone Aires is capable of, comparable to the likes of bdrmm and slowdive.
With dreamy guitars, poetic lyricism, and a sound that delicately balances light and darkness, his music tells stories of heartbreak and the search for belonging. Thematically, ‘Delirious’ captures the raw emotional struggle of distancing oneself from someone who deeply cares while grappling with the desire to protect them from pain. In Lone Aires’ words, “It explores the conflict between self-preservation and the desire to protect the other person from heartache, capturing the complexity of love and vulnerability.”
Since his debut in 2022, Lone Aires has established himself as a unique voice in the indie music scene. His work has been featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds GSA and earned praise from renowned outlets like DIFFUS and Kickdrum. Lone Aires has performed on prestigious stages, including Maifeld Derby and Blaumachen Festival, sharing stages with the likes of Slowdive, English Teacher, Mannequin Pussy, Nieve Ella, Temmis, and Edwin Rosen.
