His His is the recording project of Toronto-based artist Aidan Belo, combining elements of Greenwich Village-inspired folk and contemporary indie folk, coupled with low-fidelity analog production which creates something that sounds honest and melancholic. Today, Belo releases ‘25, a four song EP recorded in the empty space of an old wood barn on his family’s farm which has been temporarily converted into a makeshift studio, where everything is recorded entirely to 1⁄4” tape and cassette.
“The songs came together quickly, mostly late at night, and feel like small sketches of where my head’s been lately,” says Belo. Having already shared two songs off the record, today listeners can also enjoy the EP’s opening tracks, “Crodie Submission” and “Eatsleepraverepeat”.
“Crodie Submission” was written after “a friend of mine got mugged downtown one night (he’s fine),” says Belo. “The title is kind of a nod to Toronto, where we both live - a weird, but ultimately great place.” “Eatsleepraverepeat” is more internal, more circular. “It’s about that feeling of being stuck in a loop, watching yourself go through the motions. Slightly annoyed that I couldn’t get a ride with my friend to Dufferin Mall and writing in my notes app while taking the heavily underserviced Dufferin Bus, (shoutout route 29, but c’mon TTC do better) was where this song started.”

Of the EP, Belo says “There’s a kind of humor running through these songs, but I didn’t want to lean too hard on that. A kind of self-aware sincerity, not quite serious, but never throwaway.
If there’s a theme, it’s probably about not trying too hard - letting things be what they are, and seeing if that’s enough.”
“Hardcore Band” riffs on “the expectations of friends who wish the music was heavier, delivered with a shrug and a smile. It’s half joke, half truth.” The other track, “Radio (demo)” is the “oldest of the four, something I found on an old tape and reworked a bit. I left it messy on purpose.”
