Aan

Deftly weaving sunny indie pop with experimental rock and gritty vocals, Aan is one of the more interesting indie bands to come out of Portland in the last few years. The trio (sometimes four-piece) might still be known only in select circles, but if it continues to create earworm tracks that manage to walk a strange line between somber and cheery, like "Somewhere Sunshine," Aan will undoubtedly continue to rise amongst the indie pop/rock elite.
