Free Music from Aer & Will’s Weekend Wrap-Up

Aer Keep You Here Sampler Aer's newest release, One Of A Kind, follows a lineage of chart-topping iTunes releases from the Wayland, MA duo of David von Mering and Carter Schultz. Since 2011, the band has built a rabid fanbase through viral songs, videos, and memorable live performances. Their latest offering embodies sounds of reggae, hip-hop, R&B, and pop: a musical mix the two have crafted to perfection in One Of A Kind. Enjoy an acoustic version of the recently released "Keep You Here," as well as three songs from Aer's back catalogue: "Stars," "Songbird," and "Take It Wrong." Hey, you guys! Hope all is going swell in each of your own little worlds. Let me be the first to welcome you to the weekend with another batch of test-driven tunes and an enticing eBook that have all been hand-picked for your perusal. As always, all of my free recommendations come with a money-back guarantee, so throw caution to the wind and give them all a spin! Also, if you missed it earlier in the week, be sure to check out our newest NoiseTrade One-on-One with the soul-sopped, fleet-footed frontman Nathaniel Rateliff and be sure to grab his new album Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats next Friday, August 21st on Stax Records. Alrighty, get into all the things! – WILL HODGE, NoiseTrade Music Editor/Community Manager Applejaxx Jesus High II Jesus High II by NC-based rapper Applejaxx is getting ready to celebrate its first birthday next month and if you missed it the first time around, here's your chance to make good. Earlier this year, I highlighted Applejaxx's A Night at the Movies EP and praised his ability to weave humor into his social commentary without ever forsaking one for the other. Much like Foreknown of the infinitely talented Humble Beast crew, Applejaxx mixes glossy production values with a super smooth delivery and sprinkles the perfect amount of nostalgic nuggets of pop culture references throughout. To start things off, spin "Turn Up" a couple times in a row and your weekend will be set for success. Son & Thief Cardinal [EP] Cardinal is the debut EP from Son & Thief, a new indie-rock trio hailing from the sacred sonic soil of Athens, GA. Home state bias aside, I found myself really impressed with the depth of songwriting and the production values on the young band's first release. Landing somewhere between Death Cab for Cutie's emo-pop aesthetics and the layered BGVs of The Beach Boys, the six songs on Cardinal glide along on a relaxed groove that never feels rushed or unsure of itself. Opening track "Lock & Key" and closer "7th Mended Mess" feel like the strongest songs, but the early rock vibe of "You Don't Want That" perfectly nails a sound that I hope the band explores even more as it goes along. Joshua Jesty it's your fault everything's alright If you're in the mood for some spot-on, melodic alterna-power-pop, then Cleveland's Joshua Jesty has got a little something for you, man. it's your fault everything's alright is the final EP in a 4-chapter collection of songs about a bunny that finally finds "someone with which to blow up the world." While not exactly a literal narrative of those exact ingredients, the songs convey the myriad of emotions that color such a relationship. So far, my favorite tracks are probably "time gives me the screw" and the gorgeous acoustic track "here" that finishes up the album (and the overall story). Ryan Peter When Twins War: Book I (eBook) Fans of well-crafted, epic myth-worlds full of flawed heroes, ancient evils, magical occurrences, and tongue-twisting geographical locations will find much to love in Ryan Peter's When Twins War: Book I. Following in the footsteps of such literary luminaries as Tolkien and Martin, Peter has created a lush, intricately-detailed realm for his characters and their stories. Visit the twin cities of Iza-Kiêrre and Ben-Kiêrre, delve into the lives of Tarkanyon the Outlander and Gerald, and get lost in the fantastical expanse of Lexedore in When Twins War: Book I. When writer Will Hodge (@will_hodge) isn't one of these late-model children waiting for the king, you can find him running off at the keyboard about music, concerts, and vinyl at My So-Called Soundtrack
