Editor's note

Awolnation's mix of rock and electronic textures

Aaron Bruno's project started with 'Sail' and kept experimenting across albums like 'Run' and 'Here Come the Runts'.

For a quick sense of their range, 'Sail' and 'Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)' frame it well. One's the hit that defined their mix, the other shows where they took it.

The band's breakout hit 'Sail' showed how they could blend rock with electronic elements in a way that stuck. Later tracks like 'Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)' and 'Burn It Down' kept pushing that sound into folk and industrial territory. It's a catalog built on shifting textures rather than sticking to one lane.

Awolnation formed in Los Angeles around 2009, with Aaron Bruno as the frontman. They started under a different name before switching and releasing 'Sail' in 2010, which became their breakout. Their debut album 'Megalithic Symphony' arrived in 2011, followed by records like 'Run' and 'Here Come the Runts' that continued their experimental streak.
