Aan was my first introduction to the Portland music scene. I remember venturing out into the unknown, alone, struggling to even find the venue. It was hard work, convincing myself to gaze out into a sea of strange faces. When the band started to play, my focus was still and unable to be broken. "Wake Me With A Kiss" brushes a cold, white sheet over your eyelids, enticing you to believe you’re in the scenario of waking up next to someone special on a hazy morning. Bud Wilson’s vocals are something to take note of. Through the curls and the snarls of his intriguing twang, there’s this never-ending maze of new sounds to explore. The lingering bass flirts with a build up, the guitar distantly trickling down your spine. This song posseses a theme true to the entire career of the band; anything is possible. Aan’s enthusiasm for mystification draws in the attention of many, but their incredible talent is responsible for keeping us excited. – Colette Pomerleau
