Though signed to a major label, nominated for a Latin Grammy, and involved with bands like Novocain and Porter, Aeiou's Juan Son is actually quite the anti-pop star. Musically, his style is a beautiful concoction of confident lyricism, squeezebox rock, Mexican folk, electronic tinkering, and theatrical dance music. In other words, the very ingredients that make a truly special pop performance. In Aeiou he teams up with Blonde Redhead's Simone Pace to fulfill his idea of transcendental pop music, a shared joy in exquisite stage garb included.
