“This is music that invites you in, but also rewards attention with its depth and detail”– Muzic NZ
“Ed’s Sun marks an exciting step for one of NZ’s most intriguing emerging talents” – Tearaway Magazine
Straight off the back of the release of his critically acclaimed debut album, Ed’s Sun, Aidan Fine announces a headline show with his band at Double Whammy in Tāmaki Makaurau on Friday, 26 September.
Florida-born, Johannesburg-raised and now Auckland-based, Aidan Fine channels a nomadic youth into a vivid blend of psychedelia, left-field hip-hop, and guitar-laced alt-pop. As a self-released artist since his teenage years, he has accumulated over 3 million streams, led by singles Sunday Morning, Gold, and his debut EP, Wings. His music has been praised by the likes of Rolling Stone Australia, RNZ and the NZ Herald, and an upcoming BIGSOUND showcase in Brisbane, Australia, marks rising international buzz.
Released in August, Ed’s Sun blends alternative hip-hop, psychedelic, and experimental sounds into a carefully crafted album that finds Aidan Fine unapologetically pushing artistic boundaries. Distilled from over 100 demos, Fine has created a record that is a culmination of a decade of experimentation and self-inquiry, which he describes as “equal parts spiritual, strange, and deeply personal”.
