Bio

The Kerosene Hours are the hours between midnight and 4 a.m. — that strange pocket of time that exists between real life and someone else’s dream, a time when everything is a shade of neon red, lonely blue, or sickly green, a time when anything and everything can happen. The Kerosene Hours is also the alt/dark rock, multimedia project of LA-based creative Aaron Silverstein. 

Silverstein released his debut album as The Kerosene Hours in March 2022, affectionately titled “Fantasy Ultra.” The album and the accompanying visuals are a meditation on the inherent insanity of suburban life viewed through the lens of the darkest fantasies we keep hidden from the outside world — Who do we want to be? Who do we think we are? Who are we really? The follow-up to Fantasy Ultra will be an EP of unreleased tracks that were written around the time of album. The EP, titled “Plagues of the Cinematic,” will be released November 2022.

Silverstein was born and raised in Los Angeles and when not making music or working with brands as a freelance Art Director, he spends much of his sunlight hours working as a WGA writer. Silverstein has had the pleasure of working with nationally and globally recognized brands such as Universal Entertainment, Microsoft, Red Bull, Boxed Water and his music was featured in “Behind the Try: A Try Guys Documentary,” chronically the lives of the group after their departure from Buzzfeed.

His latest, Hello Crazy, is deliciously driven. The spooky synths and Silverstein's quivering wail feels at once like 90's Goth pop and a 70's Italian Horror movie. — American Pancake

Hypnotic percussion and dark, driving bass combines with a quivering “you were in my dreams last night,” vocal cue for a gripping sound steeped in elements of rock and post-punk. This project sounds definitively fit for nighttime roaming, and this release affirms that with a thoroughly successful aesthetic — Obscure Sound
