Aaron Quinn - To Be Held (2026) [Hi-Res]

On February 20, 2026, guitarist Aaron Quinn's quartet, Sunchoke, will release its seven-track debut album, To Be Held, via Endectomorph Music. This release marks Quinn's emergence as a leader within the improvised music scene, signaling a departure from his prior creative endeavors. The ensemble integrates the raw intensity of early 2000s hardcore and screamo with the sophisticated compositional methodologies of Olivier Messiaen and Sofia Gubaidulina. By prioritizing tonal structures over dissonance to generate tension, the album offers a dense, emotionally rigorous experience centered on authentic performance and artistic vulnerability.
