Astronoid - Astronoid (2019) EN

Astronoid is a Bostonu-based avant-garde combination of oneiric shoegaze and metal pace dictated by the never-tired drums. On they fanpage, they mention the following words: "Creation should feel like a moment of self-actualization. Full potential and promise become fulfilled, and the next step can be taken". For the Americans, this moment came with showing to the world their second album Astronoid that bring us the most mature and the best version of the band.

On their Bandcamp page, there is someone's comment comparing Astronoid to a heavier, more rock Mew and I'll be damned if it's not true (also note that "mew" is one of the tags the band used to describe the album). Brett Boland's vocal is almost exactly alike the sound of Jonas Bjerre and it's not an easy thing. About their single, entitled I Dream in Lines, they wrote "Distorted guitars curl around swells of feedback as the vocals echo with emotion during a hypnotic hook" and it only emphasize the impression that Astronoid is really another universe's Mew who started to play almost metal and very much oneiric shoegaze without losing nothing from their catchiness and the ability to write the charming compositions. The album is very well-balanced and it's difficult to point to its best track, although it maybe could be the single or the great Fault and I Wish I Was There While the Sun Set.
