Here in the River

Aaron Kyle and Liz co-wrote a couple songs on this digital solo EP Aaron released in February 2022. You might recognize “Restless” from Rock Record. 

The team had a ton of fun making a video for “Restless” with friends Bryan and Ashley Kramer and Bird the Dog at the base of Mt. Whitney. 

Aquarium Drunkard called Here in the River “western noir with a nod to Paris, Texas.”

The EP features several members of our band, Maiden Names, with the exception of engineer/drummer Joe Napolitano (Saint Motel, Vista Kicks, and Aaron’s former band Le Switch) subbing in for Brian Soika on drums and percussion. Recording the EP during the pandemic brought challenges. Chris Harrison (guitar) and Jonathan Price (bass) were unable to rehearse in person, so many songs were arranged on the spot at Barefoot Studios in Hollywood, where Here in the River and Rock Record were recorded. Aaron and Joe would meet, masked, at the studio to work out sounds, Joe hitting record, running to the drum set, playing three takes, then listening back. Call it pandemic production.
