Ahem - Avoider (2024) Hi-Res

Hooks, harmonies and healing. That’s what Minneapolis-based trio Ahem blasts from the speakers via their new full-length album Avoider, which is released five years after their debut LP Try Again. In 25 electrifying minutes, Erik Anderson (guitar, vocals), Courtney Berndt (bass) and Alyse Emanuel (drums, vocals) serve us ten original songs in which power pop and alternative rock blend together. The beautiful cover art, by Alexis Politz, is darker than the sound of this record, is certainly darker than the energizing sound of this record. Just listen to standout track Better and try not to nod along in approval and enjoyment.
