Hello friends and fans. I am releasing this new compilation of old songs today; songs I wrote in the 00s (in my 20s) when I went by the name The Plains. Some of you may know these songs, and some may not. Some of these songs are 20 years old, but I think they hold up pretty well. You might even call some of them prescient. In the wake of the most dark and confusing Independence Day I've experienced in my 40-some years on Earth, here is... A Letter From the U.S.A.
**Pay what you want**

Wow. Another rave review for Cape Disappointment. “Semer’s call and response groove, bull’s-eye lyrics, and party kazoo are destined for greater venues... moves Semer from dime a dozen, bearded-singer songwriter to master songsmith biding his time before total domination.” - Northwest Music Scene

Cape Disappointment warns listeners. Consider the monochromatic weight of horror-flick red and black type overwhelming the distant lighthouse. At times, isolated and towering, Semer’s style is as powerful as the crush of ocean waves during a night storm. However, just like the water’s reflective...

"(Little Black Square On My) Profile Pic" nationally premieres at RebelNoise.com: “Aaron Semer is different. There is no traditionalist role-play, roots pandering, faux-warbling on his new LP Cape Disappointment [releasing November 15th]. Just bold, sometimes insouciant, often provocatively topical and always wise and passionate [music].”
