In 2006, the Boston-based indie-rock band Aberdeen City rereleased their 2005 debut LP, The Freezing Atlantic. The third track, Going to Get Sick of Me, was produced by Steve Lillywhite, known for his work with U2.
The bandmembers all met in 2001 during break at a lecture titled Young Hopes, Dead Dreams. Later they moved into a house rental, and set up equipment in the basement, where they conducted sonic experiments with indie-rock hooks. In time, results were labeled with various comparisons - one of such tags reads U2. Their songs are lyrically intuitive and obscure. Driving drum beats can present differing patterns as percussive enhancement between changes.
Since releasing The Freezing Atlantic, the band has been collaborating with singer-songwriter Amanda Palmer, lead singer for The Dresden Dolls.
The intro of the fourth track, Sixty Lives, teases eardrums through headphones with droning guitar, then builds up to a shoegaze riff.
