The Aubreys are a Canadian indie rock duo consisting of Finn Wolfhard and Malcolm Craig, formed in 2019 following the dissolution of their previous project, Calpurnia. While their earlier work was characterized by a more traditional indie-pop polish, The Aubreys represents a shift toward a grittier, more experimental 'slacker rock' aesthetic.
Their sound is heavily influenced by the 90s lo-fi movement and contemporary garage rock, prioritizing vibe and emotional resonance over studio perfection. The duo first met on the set of a music video for the punk band PUP, and that shared DNA of high-energy, DIY rock remains a core part of their identity. Critically, they are noted for successfully navigating the 'actor-musician' crossover by leaning into a niche, authentic sound that resonates with the 'sad girl' and 'indie sleaze' aesthetics of the early 2020s. Their evolution from the EP 'Soda & Pie' to the LP 'Karaoke Alone' shows an increasing maturity in songwriting, moving from adolescent energy to more complex themes of isolation and suburban restlessness.
