Aistis is an enigmatic musician who is a Lithuanian-Canadian singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist. With his unique combination of wit, candour, and reflection in his most recent work, "Plateau Botticelli," Aistis delves deeply into the human condition and crafts a hauntingly beautiful story that appeals to viewers all around the world.
Boasting a gripping story of love, grief, and self-discovery, "Plateau Botticelli" is the tune that precedes his much-awaited new album, "Clay." The album, which was created in his home studio as he completed the finishing touches on another project from the COVID years, turned out to be a cathartic exploration of the intricacies of relationships and self-discovery.
Through a masterful blending of theatricality and alternative folk elements, Aistis transports listeners to a soundscape where resilience and vulnerability coexist.
Reflecting on the release, Aistis shares, "What started as an exercise of inner navigation and immediacy, very quickly morphed into a period of isolated and manic writing/recording at my home studio. Plateau Botticelli was the catalyst that opened the door to what became an 11-track exploration of love, conversation, illusion, ego, and pain, laced with humour, beauty, understanding, and the complete lack thereof, in a story that has no true beginning or end. To blur the lines of where reality and fantasy meet while using the song to claw through and try to understand but ultimately acknowledge that the album becomes another artefact of a disillusioned story. It is my expression of the insurmountable love and gratitude that I have for and to this person, in the strangest, yet truest, way I can, with a wink and a nod".
