Astoria Waves by M. Peck and Aron Jon

Recorded over three secluded days in Astoria, Oregon, this album captures a rare moment of focused collaboration between Michael Peck and Aron Jon. Holed up inside Jim Bob’s loft, the pair stripped away distraction and intent alike, allowing sound, space, and instinct to lead.


Longtime collaborators, Peck and Jones have previously worked together on projects including Children, Maggot Apple Wonderland, and The Family Room. This latest release feels both like a continuation and a departure—less concerned with form, more devoted to atmosphere, tension, and emotional residue.

Cloaked in dark ambient textures, experimental structures, and post-rock sensibility, the album moves slowly and deliberately, inviting the listener into a liminal space where melody dissolves into mood and silence carries as much weight as sound. It is introspective without being insular, heavy without excess—music shaped as much by what is withheld as what is revealed.This is a document of presence, isolation, and trust between collaborators—an album that lingers, unsettles, and quietly insists on being felt rather than explained.

Outersound.
