Aleutian developed out of 7 years of collaborative projects, involving singer/guitarist Bradford Prenda, bassist Michael Dobkowski, drummer Stephen Dobkowski and keyboardist Jeremy Prevost. Originally from the east coast city of Portsmouth NH, Aleutian relocated to Chicago, IL in October of 1998 to concentrate on the development of their music and expansion to a wider listening audience.

Aleutian's debut release Frame Dragging offers a window through which the listener can veiw, "a world of constant twilight and shadows". Ethnic coated drums and subtle bass lay a firm foundation over which ambient samples, keyboards, delay guitar and vocals provide textural layers that encompass the listener on all sides. Frame Dragging was sent to a limited number of college stations in the spring of 1998. During this time CMJ weekly reported consistent airplay and favorable response, including CMJ New Music Report's "A&R Pick" for the week of May 25, 1998.

Aleutian is currently not performing as a group. Brad and Jeremy are planning a release under the name The Faint Blue Galaxy. Mike and Steve are in the band Shadow Tribe.
