WHAT IS SHADINGTHESUN?
music for the hopeless romantic
Shadingthesun is the vessel of Minneapolis producer Aaron Jacobson, where shoegaze haze collides with new wave pulse, trip-hop shadow, post-punk goth edge, and pop luminosity. The songs move like nocturnal landscapes—haunted yet shimmering—driven by lyrics that chase romance into its darker corners, unravel paranoia, wrestle with lust and shame, and reach, despite it all, for hope. It is music that lingers, both intimate and cinematic, made to blur the line between beauty and unease.
