Aesthetic Perfection - Into the Black (2019)

[@MindyMaeCrochets]

You are the most underrated musician in music today. This is brilliant and I cannot wait for the new album!!

[@Draculas_Raven]

Simming Shenanigans EXACTLY

[@toddgoogle4387]

@@Draculas_Raven I do hope this get's them even more exposure.

[@Draculas_Raven]

GT Hite me too

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

Me three.

[@Atlas_UK]

Couldn't agree more, Danial was amazing at infest in 2018 even though the sound crew cocked up the sound a few times..

[@wendyskelley8176]

If you don't know this band then you need to get to know ..and if your lucky enough to catch them live your in for a treat ..one of the most amazing albums ever

[@The_Jacen]

'Why do waste waste these moments so precious and so brief' i can't tell you how many times i listened to YOLO these past 18 months. Thanks Daniel. Can't wait to see you again

[@Apocalyptixx]

I just fucking CAN'T. Mourning Doves. It's. Just. So. Good. Sends chills down my spine. I mean the whole album is amazeballs but holy fudgecicles that song..

[@symbologee]

It's the best song...easily. It's one of his best imo.

[@MusicAdvocat3]

I didn't say it that first day, but you've just said it all so succinctly! and may I quote "I just fucking CAN'T. Mourning Doves. It's. Just. So. Good. Sends chills down my spine. I mean the whole album is amazeballs" ..and now after many repeats, I would only edit the last word into OMFGamazeballz! ;D ..well said

[@metaversediving]

You just said it all...

[@mleku]

I remember downloading some mega-compilation of all kinds of dark/harsh/wave music, I loved all of it, but AP stood out, and I love the way the sound evolved through the pop phase and now it's mixing it together and it's even better than both types were before it!

[@fnoperi]

Gods & Gold 🖤🙏🌠

[@TortalWombat]

Nobody, and I mean nobody, makes melodies like you do. This is nourishment for the soul.

[@VampguyN85]

Can't believe this has been out for a year and I haven't got my hands on it yet. Life gets crazy. I'm gonna buy the cd with the quarantine is lifted so I can upload it to my car which I can't do via iTunes or something. Stay safe and healthy!. Thanks for the music. The tracks are sic.

[@barrism7176]

Playlist updated.. 👽

[@Draculas_Raven]

Freaking awesome, I’m soooo glad I pre ordered mine coming soon , you are an amazing Artist

[@sukafeesh]

This album is a masterpiece! The more I listen the more I appreciate. So many layers.

[@adrikgrimm]

I was absolutely PRAYING a new album would come around soon. Thank you so much Daniel. I've been a fan for awhile now and just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work. I listen to your stuff for inspiration every time I create a piece (I'm a visual artist). Excellent stuff brother.

[@SirDomblesan]

A return to form Mr. Graves? Hmmm, bravo! Something new yet something so familiar that it just sings "Aesthetic Perfection!" Music to my ears, well done on this album! By the way, I currently live in Beijing, China right now but it is interesting to see that you will be playing in my homecity of Milwaukee, Wisconsin in October!

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

SirDomblesan is there a music scene there? I’d love to get AP to China one day.

[@SirDomblesan]

@@ClosetoHumanMusic There is a music scene indeed here in Beijing and the other first tier Chinese cities. I am confident you will find an audience in the alternative Chinese crowd~

[@kandykatikorn]

Your music is probably one of the only good things to come out of an abusive relationship...without that trash i never would habe discovered you 🖤 your kusic helped me through such dark times. I can not wait to see you live!

[@jennifer.rideout]

Holy FUCK I was not expecting this kind of sound from you again! So happy to hear this!

[@michaelawilde2701]

Jeder Song eine Perle, die direkt in mein Gehirn tropft und explodiert. Mit anderen Worten :das ganze Album ist einfach nur wunderbar.

[@stefankiener738]

Besser ist das nicht zu beschreiben ❤❤❤❤ Ich freue mich auf das Konzert von Aesthetic Perfection am 25.04 im Münchner Backstage. Geburtstag feiern und Aesthetic Perfection mit neuem Album auf der Bühne - Was bitte gibt es geileres ????? 😍😎

[@chiralityraven337]

AP killed it at Dark Side this weekend!!!! I was excited to see you guys!!

[@damianglowinkowski7554]

For all the ongoing, and dull, debate about AP reaching out too far into the modern pop tropes, this album shows a great mastery of song writing and some unexpected flavours. I have been following your work for years and every new release is a pleasure (even if it strays from my preconceptions about what might come next). Even in the songs that so far I enjoy less, there's confidence and pride. Not too mention few of them are on repeat already, because of the flawless beat and trademark AP romanticism. Cheers! PS. There's something exciting about the merging of old and new visual iconography too.

[@extremelyrudefrog2123]

All these years later and I'm still a fan, dude. So glad you're still putting out content for us. Hard to believe I was jamming to Close To Human nearly 14-15 years ago. We're getting fucking old but good music endures.

[@sarahs413]

An album that touches me so much, I HAVE to buy it. EVERY album has a song that touches the core of my being. This album is no exception. I have the whole album on loop right now. I WILL buy this album. God, some things hurt so bad, but you're amazing. When I can't put things into words, you put them into music for me. THANK YOU! You were right ........ well worth the wait ........ so broke, but I WILL gather the money for this album, Daniel .... Monsieur Graves. THANK YOU for making this! I'm blown away.

[@diosama4627]

You're such an amazing artist and I'm glad I found your music!! I love your albums- they are a piece of art. This one is going on my collection as well ❤️❤️ Supernatural is my favorite one so far!!! :D

[@Orphea333]

this is a masterpiece, your best so far! Keep doing what you do! Hope to see you live again soon!

[@alexwilson4542]

Literally only just finished Gods and Gold and its already clear this is gonna be bloody awesome. You're an inspiration man can't wait to see you in a few weeks in London!

[@sarahs413]

This has GOT to be the most impressive album so far! Mixing various styles and making them your own, Daniel ........... I can't put into words how amazing this album is. I wish the CD player in my car didn't grow rows of teeth! Can't replace the CD player without removing the entire dash of my car, and I can't afford that. It even tried to eat the cleaning CD! This is an album that is going to be POPULAR to our styles of liking and loving. I LOVE it when you try different things -- this turned out to be of amazing leaps and bounds.

[@jaytargett889]

2006: First heard Sacrifice. Damn Aesthetic Perfection are good 2019: First heard Gods and Gold. Damn Aesthetic Perfection are really good I don't know how you keep producing such good music but keep it up. Gods and Gold, Supernatural and If I Die are my new favourites. I love the music and songs you make. This album is fantastic, I look forward to hopefully hearing a couple these on your upcoming tour! Here's to another decade (or so) of great Aesthetic Perfection music :)

[@AmeliaSoleil]

Hooked after the first song, as usual. Can't wait to hear that open in Milwaukee. 👍

You never ever fail us. Brilliant album. I REALLY love 'Gods & Gold', it is threatening to push 'Love Like Lies' down to my 2nd favourite all-time Aesthetic Perfection song! Rally love 'No Boys Allowed' too. This whole album is fucking brilliant.

[@jenrots1046]

This song is amazing!!!!

[@SomeMold]

Had no clue this was coming out, haven't listened to AP in years. Beyond impressed when I heard Gods and Gold. Hope this is still just the beginning!

Aesthetic Perfection is a lifelong project. I will never stop.

@@ClosetoHumanMusic Good to hear. After 24 hours, my favorite song has gotta be Supernatural. Such a banger my guy!

Bough my tix for SF the day they went in sale because I knew this album would be amazing and from the first track you didn't disappoint. Bravo, Daniel!

[@toddgoogle4387]

The album just keeps growing on me. I love AP

[@Victoriomantic]

Love it, especially since seeing you in London a couple of days ago. Everything you release stuns and amazes me. Seen you live thrice now, and each time gets better and better. Please come to the UK again soon so I can see you a fourth time

[@robiel317420]

Badass sir. A few songs in, I was compelled to visit your store to purchase the physical copy. Thank you for this work of art. Great work.

[@Necronomic13]

Your social media "Blackout" makes even more sense given the album name. I love your work and I'm so ecstatic that this release is as wonderful as i had expected and dreamed. Keep making your marvelous brand of art... I'm gonna keep eating it up

I've been struggling lately with a lot but I'm so grateful to have AP because this has to be my biggest comfort band/motivation and yeah that sounds dumb but hsbghbsdfh Like especially with art. When I can't find it in me to draw just. put this on and suddenly I'm drawing again. Had to say something, I just appreciate this SO much aaa

[@eckleymarie]

Once in high school I made this big art project listening to AP. I've been struggling to get back into art for years, but I put on this album and just drew for 43 minutes straight no problem. This is why this is my favorite band and i love this album 😭😀

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

This is one of the most amazing compliments I've ever received. Thank you!

[@Glumkatmusic]

Loveeee it!!! Some of your best work. It sounds like your range has grown both on clean and distorted vocals and you're finding new ways to create contrast and transitions. Really nice! :)

Such an AWESOME album, made independently! Gets me moving, and SERIOUSLY shows your talent and vocal range abilities in a crazy-great way! (I still occasionally giggle at what I THOUGHT was on the cover of the album when I come across it, ha!)

[@Deathmetal247]

So happy I pre-ordered. This Metalhead cannot get enough of your music and has never been disapointed. Its actually art, unlike the oversaturated radio bubblegum pop crap that only sings about Money, self, and sex. This is pure, meaningful, and beautiful. Thank You Mr.Graves. You are underrated as heck. I downloaded my copy from bandcamp first thing this morning and listened to it 3 times in a row. My friday has been made even more awesome than it would have been.

[@Deathmetal247]

I know you just released this... But please dont take more albums off the table. We the fans love your Full lengths!

Can't believe you popped the whole album on here 😍. Thanx babe x

[@WonderlandKilljoyx]

This album is a fricken masterpiece and I can't stop listening to it. Will be buying a copy when my next paycheck comes in. I also will be seeing you in the Seattle show because I have been wanting to see you live since I first heard the song,'The Great Depression.' in like...2009? 2010? Something like that? It doesn't matter. Your music has been inspiring and made my life more amazing since it came into my life. So, my boyfriend and I will be grooving to your live playings and singings in October. Like, can summer be done already so I can go? :D lol. I'll shut up now. Just wanted you to know that as always you never cease to amaze or deliver AMAZING masterful music. I have appreciated all the stages of evolution of this musical adventure and will continue to do so.

[@rachelzammit9386]

You never cease to impress! The different vocal styles and rhythm are amazing. Well done!

[@glitterslits6269]

okay, I just found this and I was in love immediately. awesome music

Seeing more and more symbolism on the album cover! Holy crap, it's awesome! Some are subtle, but I keep seeing more as I listen to the album! Just, wow. Impressed.

This album has a little bit of everything, and it all works so well and blends so beautifully together. It’s an absolute masterpiece! 🖤

[@TenCentToys]

So many amazing songs. Got to enjoy the prelisten as a patreon supporter, the download of it, and literally drove across five states listening to it on a loop. It is ridiculously good Daniel and we are thrilled to be able to open for you in September. Also can't wait for my physical copy i preordered. 😜

[@Skullgrin.]

Holy sock, this album is without a doubt your best one yet!

[@tonguepetals]

[@apharys8921]

Listening to this album I’m amazed just how fresh and interesting every single song is, the sounds you use are great and the clean vocals are awesome as always. I’m still struggling to get used to the harsh vocals, I’m hoping they’ll grow on me because the music is so good. My only real criticism would be how some songs can get a little repetitive but even in that regard they’re a lot better than, well, a lot of music I’ve heard... from all genres. Really good stuff mate, I appreciate your work :)
