notes

Aidan Hawken is a singer and songwriter based in San Francisco, California. As the lead singer and co-songwriter of Highwater Rising (highwaterrising.com), Aidan has written songs that have been featured in several feature films as well as virtually every major hit TV show including: THE OC, SEX and the CITY, NORTH SHORE, BOSTON PUBLIC, SUMMERLAND and ONE TREE HILL. The band's second album,The In Between, was co-produced by multi-platinum producer Eric Valentine (Smash Mouth, Queens of the Stone Age). With 8 of its 10 tracks licensed, the album is one of the most licensed independent albums of all time. The album also turned the head of radio trendsetter Chris Douridas, who highlighted his favorite songs and a live performance on his weekly radio show "New Ground" on KCRW in Los Angeles. The singles Coming Undone, Wasted Days, and Lie Awake were also added to numerous college radio stations nationwide. In 2005, Aidan released his first solo record titled Pillows & Records. Produced by JJ Wiesler, the record features 14 original tracks. The CD features Jim Bogios on drums (Counting Crows), Tom Ayres on guitar (Persephone's Bees), the legendary Chuck Prophet, Brett Simons on bass (Liz Phair) and Jason Borger on keys (Highwater Rising). An early demo of the title track was used in the 2004 season of THE OC and was in final consideration for use on one of the show's popular CD compilation releases. Aidan Hawken is currently on tour and can be reached on the web at: aidanhawken.com and highwaterrising.com

  • A Must Have album
    author: Amy

    This album is simply amazing. since it arrived with the Highwater Rising CDs (thankfully a lot quicker than i expected!) no other music has been listened to! Really beautiful music, i highly reccomend it.

  • Love it
    author: Phil

    This CD has been in constant rotation in my car, at home, and on my iPod since I got it. The songs are consistently excellent and the entire album flows together even though it's not a theme album and doesn't "tell a story". Just incredibly great music from start to finish.

  • What talent
    author: Braxton

    I really enjoyed this cd. If you are a fan of Howie Day of other singer songwriters this guy is awesome. I strongly recommend him. He is a refreshing new talent and with a voice like that we can only hope he will go far.

  • So glad I found a website to order this from..
    author: music fan

    This album was great. I heard "crush" on a show & had to track down the album. Luckily the rest of the tracks made the album worth hunting for. Excellent buy.

  • Absolutely incredible, lyrics and a style of music far beyond imagination
    author: Peter B.

    Pillows and Records is far more then just music. Every song has it's story, style and emotion behind it. The guitars, vocals and everything about this CD exceed creative imagination and by far one of the best I've heard. Musical genius to say the least.

  • beautiful
    author: Ellyn Parker, Olao Records

    Aiden is truly gifted...his heartbreak slips into your soul and breathes emotion into sadness that is actually uplifiting and comforting..His songwriting is amazing..the production on this record is great... San Francisco's loss is LA's gain..

  • author: is

    risky heartscape cartography; fabulous lyrics and music mapping dream and journey, a healing, hopeful sound...

  • This cd is completely mind blowing.
    author: Candice

    This cd is completely mind blowing. It's just completely awesome. You have the upbeat songs like "Somebody Else" and "Crush" then the mellow songs like "Pillows and Records" and "Jenny". Every song on this album is worth hearing. Trust me when I say you'll fall in love with it. The music and the vocals are all crisp and they sound great. It's very much worth buying.
