Juicy Lemon Club Shares New EP ‘Sleepless’
Hailing from Switzerland, Juicy Lemon Club has been performing on stages for the past two years, achieving recognition for their witty style that combines disco and house elements with vintage and contemporary sounds. The earnest lyrics and soulful vocals add a touch of individuality and refreshing diversity.
They return with their indie-pop five-track extended-play, Sleepless. Falling in love, restless nights, and a yearning for intimacy are the main themes. At Alterna Recording Studios, in collaboration with Philippe Laffer, Juicy Lemon Club worked together to record and produce the EP. At London’s Abbey Road Studios, the songs were subsequently mastered.
‘Sincerely’, the focus track, is an indie-pop composition with a melancholic tone. It has to do with appreciating self-worth in a relationship. It’s a declaration from someone who is at last able to say, “no, you can’t treat me this way, or I’m going to leave.” The track features guitars, piano, synthesizers, drums, bass, and vocals on the production.
In their music, groove is everything. The tunes have a live sound that makes you want to dance. Their emotive voices add even more colour to their sound, which draws inspiration from the disco and indie-pop genres. They pair this with lyrics that are far from superficial.
On the song, Juicy Lemon Club comments, “‘Sincerely’ is really about recognizing your self-worth in a relationship and the fact that someone else does not respect that. It’s about finally being able to say “no, you can’t treat me like this or I’m gonna leave”.”
Juicy Lemon Club’s musical prowess is demonstrated in, Sleepless, which also emphasizes the group’s sincerity, ardor, and dedication to artistic development. Their most recent release, which complements their whole musical record to date, highlights their artistry.
Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
