The Aces - I've Loved You For So Long

Vinyl LP pressing. 2023 release. In the years since The Aces released their acclaimed sophomore album, 'Under My Influence' in 2020, the band has been on a journey of self-discovery. Faced with the realities of a global pandemic, sisters Cristal and Alisa Ramirez (lead vocals/guitar and drums, respectively), Katie Henderson (lead guitar/vocals), and McKenna Petty (bass) used quarantine as a time to reflect, confronting personal mental health issues as well as processing experiences they'd had growing up together in Provo, Utah, as part of the Mormon church. When The Aces returned to the studio, their vision - and the honesty and trust between them - felt stronger than ever. The result of this growth period is 'I've Loved You For So Long,' the band's third LP. Written and executive-produced by the group (along with Keith Varon, the sole collaborator on the project), the album is a sparkling indie-rock record that's by far their most personal and self-assured work to date. From tracks that ruminate on mental health and self-sabotage to searing anthems about love, longing, and heartbreak, 'I've Love You For So Long' is a record that'll work it's way into your head and heart - and will have you singing along all the way through.
