Description
Originally released in 2019, Routine Maintenance, the second
full-length (and second in the Aaron West trilogy) from Dan
Campbell (frontman of Philadelphia pop punk legends, The
Wonder Years), is a character study conducted through music.
Picking up where the first installment of the trilogy, 2013's We
Don't Have Each Other, leaves off, the album follows
Brooklyn-native Aaron West as he formed his band (The
Roaring Twenties) and travels across America, playing shows
and meeting folks along the way. The album plays like a slice of
life glimpse at America and a haunting interpretation of one's
purpose in it. According to writer Hanif Abdurraqib, Routine
Maintenance is the richest and most layered of the Aaron West
albums from a standpoint of sound. The horns and small vocal
choirs burst through with clarity. And the singer/songwriter
vibes give way to more revival-like Americana songs, taking
advantage of the full band and evolving their sound. With the
final installment of the trilogy and a new tour on the way in
2024, Routine Maintenance is the bridge between the
freshness of hurt and despair and the acceptance of suffering
and recognition of one's flaws and responsibilities in the world.
