#aw20s

when was the last time you saw a band create 3 full length albums and one 3-song EP following the story of a single dude's journey as he navigates death, divorce, and depression over the course of a decade. when was the last time you saw a musician so committed to their craft that they straight up roleplay as the lead character in their album to the point where even the live performances become a canon part of the narrative. when was the last time you listened to something as compelling and impactful as the aaron west and the roaring twenties discography.

the aaron west and the roaring twenties discography really does have a bit of everything. divorce. miscarriage. religious trauma. death. capitalism. bar fights. vandalism. alcoholism. sports. old cars. and, of course, depression

yeah no i'm fine, i'm just listening to the entire aaron west and the roaring twenties discography in chronological order

it is actually so important to me that diane isn't a bad person and aaron doesn't treat her as such. he knows and understands that the circumstances are what shaped their relationship more than anything, and that the trauma they both endured and the methods they used to cope with it are ultimately what made it impossible to reconcile... something something even people who are good for each other at one point won't always be good for each other in the long run

obsessed with how "smoking rooms" starts off with aaron singing alone and ends with the whole band joining him and then it's the opposite during "alone at st. luke's"........ effervescent
