If the names and faces of Aeon Station seem familiar despite only releasing their debut record last year, it's because they're far from new to the scene. Nearly 20 years after the Wrens released their last record The Meadowlands, Aeon Station was formed by Kevin Whelan in the hopes of finally releasing the songs he'd been writing for the New Jersey indie rock band but would never see the light of day after years of creative clashes and business disputes with his former bandmate and co-songwriter unless he created a new band. Whelan and his band, primarily made up of other members of the Wrens, stopped by KEXP in April to play a few songs off their distortion-fueled debut Observatory, which came out on Sub Pop in 2021.

Aeon Station is the long-awaited solo project from Kevin Whelan—formerly of indie darlings The Wrens—whom, because he has a new album (Observatory) and a new path, we bothered about a bunch of new shit, including new mornings, New Jersey highways, New Year's resolutions, and more.

Jerry MacDonald's 30 plus year career in music is worthy of some best-selling novel or Hollywood blockbuster treatment. Jerry is best-known for his time playing in The Wrens who released what many consider to be one the greatest indie-rock records of all time in 2003, Meadowlands. That also happens to be the most recent release from The Wrens. A full 18 years later, after a few hints of a long-awaited follow-up that has yet to materialize, 3/4 of The Wrens formed under the moniker Aeon Station and released the brilliant debut album Observatory in late 2021. It may be as close as the world ever gets to a "new" album from The Wrens. In this wide-ranging interview, Jerry and Jamie discuss much of Jerry's backstory in drumming, the music business and what "success" means, the founding of both The Wrens and Aeon Station, and so much more. If any young drummer or other musician needs to find a reason or motivation to continue chasing their artistic dreams, they will absolutely find it in this episode...

Kevin Whelan is the guest on this episode of Performance Anxiety. You may remember him from a noisy band from New Jersey called The Wrens. He talks about forming the band with his brother, Greg. Up until his latest release, it was the only band he was ever in! Kevin reveals how The Wrens were once the house band on a ferry boat, and how his mom got them the gig. Once the band was signed, they forged their own path; so much so that the label wasn't sure they could release their debut.  But the industry caught up to them and they were offered a huge contract after their second album…which they turned down. Kevin also sheds some light on the 5th Wren and the time they almost got killed at a party in New Mexico. Then reality hit and they had to get real jobs. But after a while, the music started coming again. Kevin's new project is called Aeon Station and the album is coming out on Sub Pop, which is a dream for a 90's indie guy! Give Aeon Station a follow on social media. Pick up the album through Sub Pop or wherever you get music these days. Follow us @PerformanceAnx on social media.

“Observatory” Now the name Aeon Station might not sound familiar but their music probably does. And there's a simple reason for that. Aeon Station is basically 3/4ths of the personnel of the legendary New Jersey band The Wrens. So why is the band Aeon Station and not the Wrens? Well, there's also a simple reason for that but it's one of those simple reasons that's actually kind of complicated and probably deserves its own podcast by way of explanation. So let's just go with this. The band is Aeon Station because it's not the Wrens. Confused? This should clear things up. The Wrens formed in '89, put out three perfect albums, including Secaucus and The Meadowlands. The Meadowlands came out in 2003 and the band was poised to translate their critical acclaim capitol—of which they had a massive amount—into a profile that was bound to be larger, but, long story short: they didn't. Now, almost twenty years later, Singer/guitarist Kevin Whelan who shared Wrens songwriting and singing duties with Charles Bissell in a kind of Jones and Strummer way, decided he would step forward with a batch of songs he'd been sitting on, including five that were intended for the follow up to The Meadowlands. Whelan's longtime Wrens comrades—his brother Greg and Jerry MacDonald—play on Aeon Station's Observatory and the results are nothing short of captivating. A dramatic song cycle of indie rock soundscapes powered by wondrous melodies and lilting choruses, Observatory is stunning work. Falling somewhere between Remy Zero's Villanelle, Radiohead's OK Computer and the crunchy beauty of Canada's Aerogramme, the album is a breathtaking blast of melodic wonder. It's affecting, it's arresting and it's utterly thrilling—it reminds us that whether beauty rises or falls, its always spectacular. In this chat Kevin Whalen talks to Alex about The Wrens' misadventures, the genesis of Aeon Station, his daily musical practice and what's in the Whelan musical vaults…. www.facebook.com/aeonstationband www.subpop.com www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.com Stereo Embers The Podcast Twitter: @emberseditor Instagram: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

In September, The New York Times published a feature on Kevin Whelan bearing the headline,  “The 18-Year Wait for New Wrens Music Is Over. Sort Of.” The piece was exactly as bittersweet as the title betrayed, documenting the genesis behind Aeon Station, a musical project born out of the ashes of what would have been a final Wrens record – the first since the band's 2003 masterpiece, The Meadowlands. Eighteen years is, of course, an extraordinaire amount of time to wait for a follow up album – particularly for one that ostensibly never broke up. In intervening years, life happened. For Whelan that meant a family and a job in the pharmaceutical industry that temporarily moved him around the world. But he never abandoned the dream of releasing another album, even if he ultimately had to do it on his own terms, aside from the long, looming shadow of The Meadowlands.

On this final episode of this season's podcast, we spoke with Kevin Whelan of The Wrens about the nitty gritty on why he and his songwriting partner in the Wrens Charlie Bissell could no longer agree on finalizing their long awaited follow up to The Meadowlands, the future of Aeon Station and so much more.

Die Nostalgie im Sound von Aeon Station ist nicht aufgesetzt sondern konserviert: The Wrens hätten nach drei Alben und gutem Ruf für intensive Live-Shows ein Album für Kult-Label Sub Pop bereits eingetütet gehabt, wegen interner Streiterein kam es jedoch nie. Zumindest teilweise dafür jetzt, unter neuem Namen, ohne Sänger Charles Bissell und mit Bassist Kevin Whelan an der Front. Ende 80er an der US-Ostküste gegründet, produzierten The Wrens bis 2003 drei Alben. Der vierte Streich verschleppte sich dann über die nächsten 16 Jahre aufgrund interner Unstimmigkeiten – musikalisch und finanziell – bis 3/4 der Band um Kevin Whelan den Ballast abwarfen und unter dem Namen Aeon Station neu starteten. Das Debüt «Observatory» trägt ohne Überraschung die Handschrift der Wrens.

Para esta semana de solo dos días después de un puente nuestro disco de la semana es un EP de solo 4 canciones, el nuevo capítulo de Once Twice Melody de Beach House. Despertamos con un nuevo y fiestero tema de Grimes, suenan novedades de Aeon Station, Tears for Fear o Bad Gyal y un villancico a cargo de Beach Bunny.

Aeon Station - "Queens" from the 2021 album Observatory on Sub Pop. After 18 years of waiting for the Wrens to follow up their beloved 2003 triumph, The Meadowlands, we've finally received new music from them. Well, sort of. Frustrated with his bandmate Charles Bissell's endlessly tinkering with his half of the planned follow-up record alongside a dispute over money cuts, Kevin Whelan is releasing his portion of songs under the name Aeon Station on December 10th. It's a heartbreaking way to receive them, but we'll take what we can get! The lead single and our Song of the Day, “Queens,” was unveiled in September and is so much more than we could've expected. A climactic five-minute epic, the song opens as a synthy slow-burner but builds into a propulsive, thrashing rocker only to crash to its emotional guitar-strummed ending. With lines like, “You said it was all in,” it's difficult to not read the song as Whelan's pointed message to his former bandmate.  Whelan claims the song was inspired by one of his all-time favorite songs, “The Winner Takes it All” by ABBA. “It's about betting on the real you,” he explains in the press release. “Like a game of high-stakes poker, you push all your chips to the center of the table and aren't afraid to go “all in.” When the New York Times asked Whelan in their profile on his new project about whether the song was a breakup song, he responded “More like post-break-up,” Whelan said, “when you find the strength to get on with your life.” Read the full post on KEXP.org Support the show: https://www.kexp.org/donate See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
