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]
Hawked up on cheap caffeine
All starry-eyed and jittering
I'm just looking for the real thing
To clear my mind
Hey mister, standin' in the street
Do you got something for me?
Pearly white like ivory
Enough of these games, let's grab the key
But what I really want to know
Is this some real good blow?

[Verse 2]
I know just what I'm not
But that ends 'round 10 o'clock
Juan takes me in the stall
I'm about to have a ball
Long day and the longer nights
All good things end alright
So what you're tryna prove
Come now let's get in the groove

[Chorus]
Groove, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I wanna know
How they got the lights on in this place
And I wanna know
How many lucky lives went down this drain (Oh yeah)
If it were up to me
I'd be the only reason we don't ever leave this place
But isn't
Isn't that exactly why you came?

[Post chorus]
Isn't that exactly why you came?
Isn't that exactly why you came?
Exactly why you came
Isn't that exactly why you came?
Isn't that exactly why you came?
