Release Notes:
Instant gratification. That's the best way to describe the monsters of rock
known as Desoto Jones. Going big on their masterful debut with irresistible
hooks, incredible lyrics and towering riffs, every song on Aurora hits hard and
lingers long. Combining post-hardcore elements with tender lyrics and soaring
choruses, this arena-ready wall of sound leaves no stone unturned...nothing left
to be desired. Aurora overflows with shimmering hits like "Giant Magnets" and
the compelling "Don't Fail Me." Even slow-burners like "Sweet Sun" and the
standout "Courtesy Call" crackle with electricity and excitement while holding
fast to their emotional foundation. The band's ability to inject undeniable
melodies into fiery barnstormers creates a modern-yet-timeless sound that will
undoubtedly have fans coming back again and again. Ultimately, Aurora is an
album about new starts, renewals and hope. The album title refers to the Roman
goddess of the dawn, who streaks across the sky each morning announcing the
arrival of the sun. During recording sessions, the father of the band's three
brothers passed away. Obviously a confusing and hopeless time, Aurora provided
lightèa reason to continue. "Nonfiction" is a moving, passionate and emotionally
charged dedication to their dad. Produced by Chris Badami (Dillinger Escape
Plan, The Early November, Midtown, The Starting Line).
