Aäron Koch shares ‘For Once’, a deeply personal track that captures the emotional turbulence surrounding the birth of his daughter. Written from the perspective of a moment where fainting felt dangerously close, something not unfamiliar to him, the song reflects the overwhelming urge to stay grounded, just this once.
‘For Once’ sets the tone for Koch’s upcoming debut album. It was the first track recorded in the studio, laying the foundation for a raw and intuitive recording process. The band played together live in one room, embracing spontaneity and feel over technical perfection. The result is unpolished, vulnerable, and all the more powerful for it.
Known from his work with Calicos and his standout performances as a solo artist, including a Rock Rally 2024 finale spot, Koch is steadily carving out a space of his own. Drawing from indie rock, Americana, and alternative pop, his sound sits somewhere between introspection and catharsis.
'For Once' follows earlier singles ‘Tired’, ‘Changes’ and ‘This House (That I’ve Built)’, and offers another glimpse into a debut album (November 7) that promises to linger long after the final note fades.
