Sounds Like:
the latest EP that I recorded is inspired by two of my favorite songwriters, elliott smith and kurt cobain and I'd say that the music sounds like a pretty accurate mixture of their styles (which sounds surprisingly like "the bends" by radiohead).
if I were asked to describe my music in two words I would call it space-pop. In three words, I would go with california brit-pop
here's what other people say my music sounds like:
"Such a lush sound with lots to discover on every subsequent listen. [It] reminds me a lot of Sloan with the shifts from major to minor and the Beatle-esque pop sense."
-Al Grego, soundclick.com
"In the grounded pop vein of Wilco, Aaron Spacemuseum does a nice job of mixing instruments and lyrical content to weave textural song material."
-c0nsensus.com
"LA folk-rock, laid back country vibe, relaxed beat, and smooth lyrics...it sounds cool as all hell."
-Don Klaus, RockZone
"dolphins fucking"
