Aaron Lee Tasjan is set to release his new album Karma For Cheap on August 31 via New West Records. This will be Tasjan’s second solo venture and signals a different sound for the artist, a change he described as “… a little more rough and ready, more raw than anything I’ve done before.”
The 31-year-old from New Albany, Ohio has already enjoyed a varied music career, having played with Semi Precious Weapons and the New York Dolls, in addition to his work as a solo artist.
Of the new record, Tasjan says: “I needed this album to have a sense of adventure and mystery, to feel a little shaky and dangerous at times — something that wasn’t the obvious choice in terms of what people already like about what I do. I’ve come to realize that I’m a searcher, which means I’m going to be searching forever.”
Tasjan says the new project is influenced by his childhood favorites the Beatles, David Bowie, and Badfinger, to name a few.
Tasjan will be touring this summer in support of Social Distortion. See dates below.
