Aaron Taos, a rising singer-songwriter based in Brooklyn, has one of those raw, distinctive voices that commands attention and invites a second listen. "Simple & Sober", the second track he's shared off his forthcoming EP, plays into this musical strength, utilizing straightforward guitar and drum arrangements to highlight Aaron's passionate vocals and personal lyrics. This no-frills songwriting style makes a lot of musical sense given the song's title, but it's more than just fitting—it's refreshing as well. Taos has the confidence to let his own voice do the heavy lifting, and this decision truly pays off here. Listen to his effort below, and watch for his debut EP, GUITS, on September 19.
