Aer

Aer was an American duo from Boston, Massachusetts, made up of Carter Schultz and David von Mering, who blended reggae-influenced rhythms with pop, rap and rock textures. Emerging in the early 2010s alongside the broader Cali-reggae and East Coast sunshine-rap scene, the pair — self-described as the «Fresh Aer Movement» — built a laid-back, breezy sound aimed at a relaxed, feel-good listening experience.

Their music favored mellow guitar loops, easy hooks and a conversational, unhurried vocal delivery, drawing comparisons to acts within the same reggae-rock-influenced hip-hop lane. Songs such as «Floats My Boat», «Says She Loves Me» and «The Rain» captured the group's warm, sun-drenched aesthetic and helped them build a dedicated fanbase through independent releases and touring rather than major-label backing.

Aer's catalog reflects a specific late-2000s-into-2010s moment in independent pop-rap, when acts blended surf and reggae influences with hip-hop cadences for a chill, youth-oriented audience. The duo is no longer active as a group, but their releases remain a reference point for fans of that easygoing, genre-blending sound.
