aldn

Virginia-raised, New York-based left-field pop artist Alden Gardner Robinson, who operates under the stylized mononym aldn, started uploading his maximalist hyperpop tracks while still in high school. Drawn to singular artists like Skrillex, Linkin Park, Fog Lake, Fall Out Boy, and A Tribe Called Quest, aldn developed his production skills while still in his early teens. By the time of the release of his first single, 2020's "glittr," he had both defined and refined his sound into a dynamic amalgam of glitchy, arpeggiated synths and trap beats, and inward-looking Auto-Tuned pop. He released his debut EP, Greenhouse, in 2021 through N.Y.C. indie label Pack. Predictable and Good Grief followed.
