Daisy Jones & The Six Aurora on LP
Aurora is a studio and soundtrack album released on March 1, 2023 by Atlantic Records to promote the Amazon Prime Video streaming television mini series Daisy Jones & the Six, based on Taylor Jenkins Reid's 2019 novel of the same name. The 11-track album headlined by the fictional titular band featured songs with lead vocals performed by Riley Keough and Sam Claflin, and the songs are composed, performed and produced by Blake Mills with additional music production by Tony Berg and co-production by Chris Weisman, Jackson Browne, Marcus Mumford, and Phoebe Bridgers.
The fictional album in the original novel was loosely based on Fleetwood Mac's eleventh studio album Rumours (1977). The cast rehearsed many of the songs at their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. All the songs were recorded and mixed at the Sound City Studios in Los Angeles. The album received generally positive reviews for musical quality and conveying the essence of the fictional band as well as the music of the 1970's.
