This is Chris Ayer. He's a Brooklyn-based musician with a flair for lyricism in the introspective tradition of James Taylor, Paul Simon, and, more currently, John Mayer.
And he just so happens to have the voice of an angel.
He has several albums out on iTunes.
His newest album, The Noise, came out this past March.
"The Infinite Abyss of Space," one of The Noise's most popular songs, was actually a last minute addition to the album.

Here he is playing it for the first time in public at Manhattan's The Bitter End in the summer of 2012.
Now the single is being featured in Land Rover's new promotional campaign for their line of cars featuring the Meridian sound system.

This one features Chris's best friend IRL, singer-songwriter Matt Simons. Matt's song "With You" became a bonafide billboard hit in the Netherlands this year.
He's been known to throw a few gorgeous covers into the mix, too.

Dibs, y'all.
Though Chris isn't widely known yet, he already has fan bases all over the world, from Brazil to the United Kingdom to Italy.
Fans have uploaded countless photos to Facebook and Instagram that show Chris taking the time after his shows to give some love back.
Speaking of Instagram, let's take a moment to talk about Chris's personal account...
When he isn't posting fantastic photos chronicling his tours across the states and abroad...
...or photos of himself palling around with his musician buds...
...or photos of himself being a completely lovable goofball...
...he'll post the occasional, flawless selfie.
And thank goodness for that.
THANK GOODNESS.
Because maybe you haven't noticed yet...
...but this guy is really good-looking.
Like, really, really good-looking.
SO GOOD-LOOKING HE CAN ACHIEVE FLIGHT.
Ok, maybe that was hyperbolical. But he's really, very handsome.
And to get back to the discussion of his musical talent, the man can write one hell of a breakup song.

(But I find it highly doubtful that this man's ever been dumped.)
After all, that's what this whole post is about: Chris Ayer is a fantastically talented musician.
And this year, he got signed to Sony Europe!
So this past spring, he and Matt Simons toured Europe and got to play to crowds like this:
What this all means is that hopefully we'll all be seeing a lot more of Chris Ayer.
And that would be a very, very good thing.
Oh, hey, he's even got a Facebook fan page!
So go and check him out already!
In the meantime -- keep climbing, Chris. Keep climbing.
