Aidan Smith’s quirky narratives have found welcome audiences since his eccentric debut EPs emerged on Twisted Nerve in 2003. Switching to Analogue Catalogue in 2005 for a third EP and the acclaimed debut album, Fancy Barrel, Aidan’s profile rose after victorious support slots with the likes of Calexico, Badly Drawn Boy and Yo La Tengo.
Now finding his natural home at Humble Soul, Aidan Smith has made an album of both realism and surrealism; off-kilter stories told with wit, charm, and flawless piano melodies.
"Manchester has a habit of producing people like Aidan Smith; outwardly upbeat and with a serious ear for melody, then dipped in that special something which instils it all with a melancholy that never nudges into the realms of angst." (boomkat.com)
