Alt Pop Duo Æves Release New EP “Desire” and Music Video For “Loaded Love”
Alternative pop duo Æves have released their brand new EP “Desire”. The six track collection, featuring the previously released single “Loaded Love,” contains a combination of stripped down acoustic versions and their originally-recorded counterparts, as well as one remix. The lead single, Loaded Love official visual features the duo on some sort of adventure leading up to aesthetically pleasing shots that’ll leave you with a sense of wanderlust. The duo, comprised of Molly O’Malley and Matthew Adam, successfully marry together elements of both alternative rock and electronic pop on “Desire,” creating a light, yet enthralling sound. About the future of Æves, Matthew states:
“Right now we’re in the trial phase of whatever’s going to happen next. We’re very pleased with the reaction of Desire and want to keep the ball rolling whether it be more shows, merch or new visuals. We like to keep a sense of mystery in whatever we do. Even though the future is unclear, we feel it sure is bright.”
When longtime friends Matthew Adam and Molly O’Malley formed Æves in January of 2015, it was out of a fever dream. Drawing inspiration from contradicting local music scenes, the duo out of Louisville, KY found the solution in collaborating with each other. With the help by mentor, friend, and late local hero Bryan Puckett, Æves released their EP Ignite in June of 2016. After taking some time to hone their craft and evolve their sound, they flew out to Los Angeles to work with Marc Walloch, (Company of Thieves and AWOLNATION) returning with several completed songs and a more focused sense of ambition. Their new EP “Desire” marries the political rhetoric of punk rock with the vibrance of pop-electronic, creating a sound that is as invigorating as it is luminescent. In light of all the darkness shaping music and the world as a whole, Æves is paving a way for a future that is colorful and bright. “Desire” is out NOW.
