Aldn- Greenhouse (Green Vinyl)
SKU: 843563173312
Green Vinyl. The internet is real life in 2021, but Aldn had made his home in the digital universe years ago. Growing up in Virginia in the early oughts, Aldn was skateboarding and playing video games like most preteen kids when his older brother introduced him to a new toy: an ableton launchpad. By the time he was a precocious 12, he had acquired one of his own for his birthday. Still in the discovery phase of his own musical education, he absorbed everything, and was especially drawn towards artists that were abrasively themselves, whether it be the rave in the sky dubstep of early Skrillex, Linkin Park's anthemic grunge or A Tribe Called Quest's inimitably cool and distinguished rhymes. Before Pollen existed and the New Yorker was writing think-pieces on the irrelevance of genre, Aldn already felt a kinship for the unending potential that comes with making sounds that nobody else has heard before.
These days, the genre tag of "pop" music can be defined as a melting pot of various styles that forge an undeniable as well as indefinable connection. To be a pop star in 2021 is to be as unique as you are universal, making records that ring just as true to those on the outliers of society; a celebration of weirdness as a community that's come into it's own. Already making beats for free for his high school friends, Aldn started uploading his own tracks to Soundcloud, where he would wake up in the morning, decide to drop a track, and see it echo through comments, plays, and retweets across the platform. At the forefront of the kids who grew up against the background of both online utopias and the bold-faced and often disillusioned reality of being a member of Gen Z, Aldn traces the emo music of the early oughts, from Fall out Boy to Fog Lake, in a direct bloodline to what he himself creates: an innovative interpretation of what's deeply personal becoming an emblem of a greater feeling: when we're alone we're also together. greenhouse is Aldn's debut and only full length album, released in 2021, featuring his most streamed song, "what was the last thing u said".
