AIMING is the work of York-based trio David, Jordan and Laurie. Formed in late 2023, they draw on a love of shoegaze, post-punk and ambient music to create songs filled with driving bass lines, fuzzy electronic soundscapes and ethereal guitars.

Their debut single, Calculations (February 2024), was featured on Tom Robinson's 6 Music Introducing mixtape. 2024 saw them play a series of shows in York, Leeds, Middlesbrough and London, including two BBC Introducing York & North Yorkshire live sessions.

Brainiac is the first single from the band’s debut EP, The Legend. The song combines wall-of-sound guitars with fuzzy lo-fi synths and harmony-rich vocals, underpinned by a driving bass line and heavily saturated 80s-inspired snares.

Lyrically, Brainiac explores the anxiety of growing up in a small town and feeling like you don’t quite fit in.

The song was recorded, produced and mixed by the band in David’s home studio in York, using a combination of analog and modular synths, drum machines, bass, guitar and far too many pedals.
