The leader of Aeon Station, Kevin Whelan, co-founded and was one of the main songwriters of The Wrens, an indie rock legend from New Jersey. Since their landmark album The Meadowlands, released in 2003, fans and the press had been eagerly awaiting new tracks from the band members. Aeon Station’s Observatory is an epic statement that took more than ten years to complete, with miles of timeless melodies and the kind of irresistible songwriting that reaffirms your faith in life itself. The breadth of Kevin Whelan’s musical vision on Observatory is wide open and full of possibilities - recalling both the thoughtful wisdom of Bruce Springsteen, the powerful anthems of Broken Social Scene and the thrilling rock vision of The Wrens. Above all, this is music meant not only for dreamers, but also for those who realize and appreciate the enormity of every moment. It is about not giving up on your dreams and passions. The album starts from a point of view where one realizes that everything is temporary, that what we love ends up changing or leaving us, and that, whatever happens, we keep searching for and finding the way back home. If you have ever taken air into your lungs or felt your heart beating in your chest, there is no doubt that you will find some level of connection with the open-hearted rock of Observatory.
