The Aislers Set

The Aislers Set is an American indie pop band that formed in San Francisco in 1997, after the breakup of chief songwriter Amy Linton’s former band Henry's Dress. The Aislers Set's music is influenced by C86-style British indie pop.
==History==
Their first record, ''Terrible Things Happen'' was released in 1998, receiving glowing reviews in CMJ, The Big Takeover, and numerous indie pop zines, earning enough of a following to generate a tour of Japan in April 1999. ''Terrible Things Happen'' (as with the rest of the Aislers Set's music) was recorded in Linton’s tiny basement studio on an analog 8 track machine.
Spin.com placed the band's second album ''The Last Match'' on its Top 20 of 2000, saying, "Linton has cleared the cobwebs off the Pop conundrum and dolled them up in a perfect dress." On Salon.com, Greil Marcus wrote, "They make dream pop feel as easy to make as a can of soup, and as dangerous: Watch that jagged edge."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Real Life Rock Top 10 )〕 High praise followed in the New York Times, NME, Gear, and Alternative Press, and the band set out on lengthy tours supporting acts such as Sleater Kinney and Bratmobile.
In the spring of 2001 the band set off on a three-week tour of Europe which was highlighted by an invitation to record a session for legendary British DJ John Peel. They recorded four tracks for the show which was aired twice by Peel. He said of the band "If you were in one of your difficult moods you could argue that there are lots of bands making that kind of noise particularly in the United States of America. And you'd say well, why are Aislers Set better than any of the others and I'd have to say, well I don't know they just sort of are..."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel - 01/04/2001 Aislers Set )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=TheAislers Set - Media )
In 2002 the band was invited by Belle and Sebastian for a week long tour of the East Coast, culminating in a show at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom in front of over 3,000 people. Stevie Jackson of Belle and Sebastian was later quoted in a 2003 SF Weekly article saying that "They are one of the best groups in America as far as I'm concerned".
Late in 2002, The San Francisco Chronicle included The Aislers Set in its list of "Young Artists on the Verge," writing: "The Aislers Set's reinvention of '60s pop resurrects walls of garage guitars and rich, Spector-esque sound, insouciance combined with insightful lyrics. But this quintet makes the past feel contemporary, borrowing from punk and pop to create a 21st century cool sound".

The Aislers Set's third album, ''How I Learned to Write Backwards'', came out in the spring of 2003 with critical praise all around. NME wrote "Sleighbells, Cuban trumpets, half-inched Smiths lyrics and chasms of lovely echo all add to an insomnia-like reverie that clings on long after its mere half-hour is up." "When The Aislers Set hit their mark, they unveil a knack for tying together extremes without ever settling for the middle ground" said MOJO magazine. Pitchfork Media summed up the 2003 version of The Aislers Set: "Here, Linton's indie quintet becomes a pop orchestra. The band's music is denser than ever before, laden with sleigh bells, handclaps and horns piled atop the conventional guitars, drums, bass and keyboards-- and all are drenched in cavernous reverb, providing the ambiance and intimacy of a gigantic, empty concert hall".〔() 〕
The band toured for most of 2003 including a month-long stint supporting Yo La Tengo and a week supporting The Shins.

Since late 2003 the band has been on hiatus with Linton having moved to New York City and Cusick moving to Gothenburg, Sweden.
On Christmas Day, 2010, the band made a new song, ''Cold Christmas'', available for download.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE AISLERS SET )
In September 2014, the group reunited to play four West Coast shows in celebration of their LP reissues.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pitchfork.com/news/55955-the-aislers-set-announce-reissue-campaign-reunion-tour/ )
