I’m Still Here” is one of those songs that came together slowly and just kept pulling us back in. It’s built around a simple idea — holding on when things feel uncertain — and everything in the track kind of supports that. Warm synths, a steady pulse, and a lot of layered vocals that build without ever really exploding.
We didn’t want a big drop or anything overly dramatic. It’s more of a slow, emotional push forward. The hook “I’m falling again, but I’m still here” just repeats and evolves, and that ended up being the core of the whole record.
Sonically it sits somewhere near RÜFÜS DU SOL, ODESZA, and Emmit Fenn, but it’s really just us leaning into the more melodic and vocal side of what we do. It’s meant for late-night drives, headphones, and just zoning out for a few minutes.
This is also the first track in a small run of releases we’re putting out with a shared visual and sonic direction, so it’s kind of setting the tone for everything that follows.

Bronze Whale is the indie-electronic project of Austin-based duo Aaron Jaques and Benny Alley III, blending a decade of production experience with a love for melody-driven songwriting.
Aaron Jaques
Originally emerging through remix culture and their Hype Machine blog Waxhole, the two evolved into a fully self-produced act, crafting a signature sound that fuses electronic, indie, and hip-hop influences.
Benny Alley III
As producers, songwriters, and vocalists, Bronze Whale thrives in the space between crisp electronic beats, dreamy atmospheres, and emotive storytelling. Their ability to blend organic instrumentation with electronic elements has led to a catalog of immersive releases that feel both familiar and boundary-pushing.
The duo’s music has resonated far beyond streaming, landing placements with the NFL, NBA, NBA 2K24, Bose, Hulu, NBC, and The North Face, among others. As independent artists, they’ve built their own creative ecosystem—handling everything from mixing, mastering, and visuals to running their independent label, Magic Magic. Their DIY ethos ensures that every release is not only sonically rich but deeply personal.
At its core, Bronze Whale is about honesty, connection, and emotion—music made for those in search of something that feels both intimate and expansive. Whether through their ethereal productions, distinct vocals, or cinematic live sets, Aaron and Benny continue to create with an authenticity that keeps fans coming back.

Bronze Whale Talks About Their Relationship In The Music Industry In New Single 'On Fire'
In 2011, Bronze Whale made its debut in the music world, quickly gaining a reputation for making innovative and contemporary remixes.
Benny Alley and Aaron Jaques, who make up the pair, were able to swiftly establish a reputation for themselves in the industry by tackling several facets of the business on their own, such as handling their own artwork management, mixing and mastering, and marketing. Their perseverance and commitment paid off, as seen by the accolades they received as a result of their efforts.
In spite of this, the band came to the conclusion in 2018 that their music was lacking something. They were driven to discover new ways to express themselves via their love of singing and writing music, which resulted in the creation of a wholly original kind of music.
Because of the unique combination of Benny's chill voice, parts of indie-electronic music, and hip-hop percussion, the listening experience was genuinely one of a kind.

The most recent song released by the band is titled "On Fire," and it delves into the band's path of self-discovery as well as the process of taking control of their profession. This CD focuses on their interactions with the music business, how they came to identify their own distinctive style, and how they took charge of their professional trajectory and their future. It is an album that demonstrates their development as musicians and shows how far they have come.
Aaron and Benny have been developing their abilities as independent artists over the course of the previous ten years. They have refined their abilities to make their own artwork, administer their own record label, mix and master their music, as well as generate video material and content for social media. They have also invested the time to educate themselves on the music business and the practices that are prevalent within it to the greatest extent that they possibly could.
Since they did not have the backing of a collective or record label, the pair had to put in a lot of hard effort to establish their own community and find musicians who could contribute to the development of their sound.

They had been operating on their own little island, struggling to make a name for themselves in the very cutthroat music industry. The battle that independent artists go through to make their imprint on the business is represented by the song "On Fire," which acts as a metaphor for that fight.
The fact that Bronze Whale has been able to change and develop throughout the years is evidence of the band's commitment to their profession. They have taken charge of their profession and developed their own signature style, which distinguishes them from other artists in their field.
They have shown, with the song "On Fire," that they have what it takes to be successful in the continually shifting music business.
