Artist Bio A wry singer/songwriter with a laid-back, cool-slacker sound, Aaron Taos emerged in the 2010s balancing his love of guitar-based indie rock with a romantic, electronic-tinged vibe. A former Vassar soccer player, Taos began releasing his songs online around 2015 and grabbed fans with low-key jams like "Ill" and "Simple and Sober." Basing himself in Brooklyn, he continued to evolve, weaving bits of EDM into his hooky pop anthems. A native of Connecticut, Taos first started playing around age seven and was writing songs and playing in bands by his teens. It was soccer that first took up most of his attention. A gifted athlete, he made the All New England team during his senior year of high school and went on to play for two years at Vassar. However, by college he was focusing more and more on music, playing in a band influenced by The Shins, Arctic Monkeys, and The Strokes. After graduating Vassar, he moved to Brooklyn and began working on his solo material. In 2015, he released the GUITS EP, which featured the tracks "Bangs" and "Simple and Sober." He garnered attention online, and more tracks followed as he moved in a more varied electronic direction. In 2017, he issued the single "Off My Mind," recorded in Los Angeles with production duo TŌN (aka Adam Korbesmeyer and Jerry Lang).

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summer in the city
Walking down the street so slow
Girls are looking pretty
They finally got something to show
Let's hit the bodega
I need to put something in my cup right now
The street is too hot baby
We need to cool it down
[Chorus]
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
[Verse 3]
Down in Kings County
Sweat dripping out my pores
People moving around me
Leave it all on the dance floor
Cuz we're young and we're ready, keep the rhythm steady
The night heat brings out the best
In the morning, we'll be heavy with too much in our bellies
But tonight we'll do it all again
[Chorus]
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
[Chorus]
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
Summer in the city
[Outro: samples of subway announcements]
