Aerosol is the solo alias of Rasmus Rasmussen, a Danish electronic musician and guitar player whose music blends IDM and ambient music with atmospheric post-rock. Rasmussen was a member of <a href="spotify:artist:41BvcoyjJWRYdZ9dojoHcP">Limp</a> (along with <a href="spotify:artist:1z2V3T5xNcpyZUZp1HR8re">Jakob Skøtt</a> of <a href="spotify:artist:4V2GNg1htXHfl2UyF2jjkK">Syntaks</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6KPFlbSbh1zeN7x9QpgB4O">Jonas Munk</a> aka <a href="spotify:artist:57OTTQNo2lt78ydJsxwOLm">Manual</a>), a post-rock supergroup who released one album on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Morr+Music%22">Morr Music</a> (Orion, 2002), and later morphed into stoner rock behemoth <a href="spotify:artist:1TAcaMoUlvLpTUzh18TzDY">Causa Sui</a>. As Aerosol, Rasmussen debuted in 2001 with a self-titled 12" EP on the French electronic label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Active+Suspension%22">Active Suspension</a>, followed by a digital EP on the Danish netlabel <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Datamusik%22">Datamusik</a>. His first full-length album, All That Is Solid Melts into Air, was released as a limited CD-R on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Unlabel%22">Unlabel</a>. The album's downtempo, clicky beats and sparse yet warm atmospheres naturally attracted the attention of <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22n5MD%22">n5MD</a>, home to similar downtempo IDM/post-rock artists such as <a href="spotify:artist:5uQBda08nrwVEgnhvsLdmU">Bitcrush</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1jtXwxapRCfIUoU6gbGWzi">Lights Out Asia</a>, and the label signed Rasmussen, releasing his second album as Aerosol, Airborne, in 2009. The album maintained the relaxed tempos and calming atmospheres of his debut, but had a fuller sound, with increased usage of both acoustic guitars and hazy electric guitar feedback. All That Is Solid Melts into Air was re-released by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22n5MD%22">n5MD</a> in 2011. Four years later, the label released Leave, Aerosol's Krautrock/kosmische-inspired third LP. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
