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. The beautiful cover art, by Alexis Politz, is certainly darker than the energizing sound of this record.

Avoider is out now digitally and on vinyl LP through Forged Artifacts.
