Aviations

With purposeful notes and evocative lyrics, Luminaria refines a sound that pushes the boundaries of progressive music, accompanied by five self-produced music videos. Formed in Boston MA, Aviations have found their niche in progressive rock, warmly coined ‘cozy metal’ by fans, an homage to their emotional mix of comforting nostalgia and technical facility. Buzz around their 2nd record The Light Years (2018) gained new traction for the band, stretching out from shorter tours to full US runs with friends in Arch Echo and Outrun the Sunlight. The 2020 EP Retrospect reimagined songs from the bands’ previous releases, adding all six current members and their influence to the music, with the 11-minute Outliers receiving critical acclaim from the music reaction community. Notably, popular music critic METALBIRB awarded "Outliers" his 2020 Song of the Year Award. With dense yet accessible music born of its member's diverse influences, Aviations’ new album is brought about through patient exploration of varied yet cohesive songwriting and is sure to be a classic for new and old fans alike. Aviations continue to push the boundaries of prog further with every subsequent release.
