On his debut album Your Floor Is Now a Tree, AIMES brings a sound that captures the feeling one gets as the sun begins to set after a day of melancholic relaxation and people begin to wash off their sun-kissed bodies for an evening of merriment and indulgence. The LP's title track opens with a shimmering synth line that sets a solid pace for the entire record. That is, of course, until Hard Notes & Love Drugs kicks in with a huge dance floor sound that combines a steady beat with a syncopated electric bass line and some vocoded vocals. In the end, it is the slight tinge of vulnerability and earnest permeating this lush collection of songs that leaves a lasting impression.
