Carter Shultz and David von Mering, both from Massachusetts,
are two roommates in college; they party together, live together, work
together, and most importantly, make music together. Carter and David make up
the duo, Fresh Aer Movement, or AER (pronounced air).

Labeling their music to one specific genre is
difficult, but they have been influenced by acoustic-pop, rap, and reggae. Carter
handles most of the verses and raps, while David plays the guitar, sings the
choruses, and produces the tracks. The group has not reached a high level of
fame, but several of their songs and videos (on YouTube and Soundcloud) have
reached a few million views. Aer just
recently released a self-titled album.

What
separates this band from others is their style of music. Specifically, no other
group can recreate this clash of genres. They can touch listeners on a deep
level, or create club bangers. Their songs are influenced by partying and
recreational drug use, love, personal experiences, and just relaxed songs you
can jam to on a car ride. Aer is honestly one of the only groups that can
soothe the soul. Their music just puts you in a better mood, or a better place.
Their songs are completely relatable, like “Ex”. My personal favorites, at the time, are “Pretty
Lady (Around Me),” “Like the Way,” and “Sincerely.” I get to see them in
concert at the beach in October!
For
this band in particular, no specific lyrics stand out to me; each song is
good. If this band sounds like something
you could dig, check out their Soundcloud or YouTube. Just search Aer and be a
part of the movement!
