HEAVY LOVE IS

 thirty three and one third

revolutions per minute

of dirt and longing

 the needle glides silently

like the memory

of a lover's embrace

the speakers whisper and crack

until the void-colored wax

unravels its poetry and its ghosts

"harmony makes a heavy love"

she said, though her eyes

were filled with tears.

  Recording this November at North Branch Studios in Chicago, IL:

   

    Born in South Carolina in 1984 to mom and pop owners of one of the oldest independent record stores in the United States, Aaron Berg grew up largely under a record bin and was playing in nightclubs and bars by fourteen. Originally an upright bass player, Aaron left South Carolina for New York City at age seventeen. He toured and recorded with a variety of folk and blues bands including bluegrass troubadour Peter Rowan before eventually moving to a basement studio in the Hispanic section of Brooklyn where he picked up guitar and began to write songs and sing in 2005.  Since that time he has toured in 44 states and traveled on 5 continents both as a solo guitar and harmonica folk act and with his electric band The Heavy Love.  Berg’s music is a nocturnal hymn of soul-powered Americana, both psychedelic and acoustic.  This November Aaron and his band recorded his third album titled 'Exiles In Paradise' in Chicago, IL on Tight Ship Records.

    "Berg resides in New York but is originally from Greenville, making this release one of the finest folk-rock albums ever made by an Upstate musician. Only 24 years old, Berg sounds like a sage with a deep-throated vocal style that at various turns recalls Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits. Hardly a typical singer-songwriter release, "Songs For Madame X" is full of lush musical arrangements and diverse instrumentation that makes it clear that Berg is a serious artist with unlimited potential."

                                  --Dan Armonaitis, Syndicated Music Critic (Spartanburg Herald-Journal, March 15, 2007)

 

    "Aaron is one of the best people I know singing songs.  There are lines in every song that just floor me.  Aaron is big talent."
