A singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Aaron Krause makes vivid pop music rooted in mood and melody. He cranks up the electronics on his newest release, Jade, a five-song EP that mixes the airy atmospherics of M83 and Sigus Ros with the R&B punch of The Weeknd. It's music with a sense of place — a soundtrack for a movie that doesn't exist, if you will — and it arrives one year after his full-length debut, Holding on to Love.
