So smooth, so retro, and so perfect for summer, Aaron Alexis has some blurry synths he’d like to hypnotize you with. So blurry, they should call it shoe-disco… Drew Kuryloski of She’s The Queen is partly responsible for this, after getting his hands on initial chords, lyrics and melody from Alexis.
