Aerolinea “Nervous”

Indie pop duo Aerolinea presents their new single ‘Nervous’, previewing thei**r **‘All We Need’ album, the debut offering from this Argentinian-American project, which also sees a guest appearance by Failure drummer Kellii Scott. This eight-track record hits all music platforms on November 28.

Aerolinea is made up of Argentinian artist Victoria Real and Eric Weissinger of **Atlanta dream-gaze duo **I Am a Rocketship – both songwriters, vocalists and multi-instrumentalists. What began in April 2023 with an Instagram message led to a year of file sharing and meet ups in Florida and Argentina. The two met the pandemic thanks to a chance meeting while performing for the NMER Music Festival (organised by No Me Escucho Records) – a spark that planted the seed for what is now Aerolinea.

‘Nervous’ commences with a simple guitar line over a minimal kick and snare drum, interrupted by a repeated distorted riff. Quiet, thoughtful verses give way to a lush, melodic chorus, with both members of the band joining forces. The song closes with chaotic guitar and echoing, overlapping voices, bringing it to a nervous but satisfying conclusion.

”Nervous’ is a different way of describing feeling alone. We need connections, and when you’re missing a connection, you start to doubt yourself, and not feel complete. You worry. The song is more about the subject’s emotions, and you don’t know anything about who they miss,” says Eric Weissinger.

Victoria Real adds, “Nervous is the feeling we wanted to express here. Like a hunch that something is out of place. We put music and lyrics to it to evoke that feeling and thereby also evoke instant relief when expressed and channeled in this song”.

With passionate tandem lyrics, intertwining guitars and rhythms that sometimes groove and sometimes surprise, Aerolinea crafts a sound designed for romantics and misfits, for late nights and strange places. Earlier, Aerolinea shared their debut single ‘What Moves You’, a dreamy track that oscillates between minimalistic pensiveness and intense euphoria for a sonic journey that is worth the flight. Its dramatic video was directed by renowned cinematographer Nico Purdía.

Victoria Real honed her musical skills under the tutelage of King Crimson guitar legend Robert Fripp, first as a Guitar Craft student and later performing with the League of Crafty Guitarists. She has released four albums as a solo artist with a fifth album in production. In 2021, she received the “Artist Revelation Rock of the Year” award at the Cordoba Entertainment Awards (Premios CIEyA) and was nominated a “Artist of the Year” and “Rock Artist of the Year” in 2023 and 2024.

Eric Weissinger has released five albums and an EP with I Am a Rocketship. Before forming this duo, he was bassist for Anne Richmond Boston (DB Recs). As a bassist, guitarist and singer in this and other projects, he has opened for numerous notable bands, including The Black Crowes, James, The Wedding Present, Cracker and Portastatic.

As of November 12, ‘Nervous’ is available on fine digital platforms, including Bandcamp, where Aerolinea’s ‘All We Need’ album is available for pre-order via My Long Wknd Records. Aerolinea will be touring Argentina, Chile and Brazil in the new year, kicking off at Buenos Aires’ Bar Carnal on January 11.
