Aurora, Point 22

Aurora / 極光樂團
Based in Taichung City, and led by Scottish singer-songwriter Alan McIvor, Aurora is an eclectic rock/pop ensemble whose moody, atmospheric sound, along with McIvor’s absorbing vocal delivery take the listener on an emotion-fueled journey as he effortlessly flows from angelic falsetto to guttural screams, silky R&B, and angst-filled raps. Backing McIvor are veterans of Taiwan's exploding indie scene: Wade Davis and Peter Holmes (of .22), and electric banjo wielding Sean Luo.

At the heart of it all are the songs – as catchy as they are emotive, with seemingly endless hooks of anthemic quality, and probing lyrics that express in high doses the extremes of joy, rage, tenderness, love, despair and beauty.
