Aaron Parks come back with the second chapter of his “Little Big II: Dreams of a Mechanical Man”. Aaron Parks with his band members Greg Tuohey on guitar, David Ginyard Jr on bass Tommy Crane on drums, are playing together as one. Slow soft ballads but melodic and hypnotic at the same time. Such a beautiful album, highly recommended, one of our favourites this year for sure.
“Today, the band operates as a single organism. The first record was about the tunes and the aesthetic. This album keeps that focus and also captures the chemistry we’ve developed on the road, the way this band feels as it makes music at the moment”, said Aaron Parks about new album.
