Astronoid have released a third, and final preview of their forthcoming album, Radiant Bloom (June 3, 3DOT Recordings), with the arrival of “Human” (https://lnk.to/astronoid-human).
The Boston-based band previously previewed the nine-song collection with the release of “Eyes” (https://lnk.to/astronoid-eyes) and “Sleep Whisper” (https://lnk.to/sleepwhisper). Brooklyn Vegan said the music “seamlessly pulls together elements of dream pop, post-hardcore, metal and more,” while Metal Injection added “all of the spacious sounds of the first two Astronoid records and ramps things up with a solid, straightforward rock feel.”
Radiant Bloom pre-orders, which include two limited-edition vinyl variants that mimic the album artwork, are available now (https://store.astronoidband.com). The self-produced album is also available on cassette and CD.
Astronoid is Brett Boland (vocals/guitar), Daniel Schwartz (bass), Casey Aylward (guitar), and Matt. St. Jean (drums). The Boston quartet have released two full-length albums and two EPs: November(EP, 2012), Stargazer (EP, 2013), Air (2016) and Astronoid (2019). Brooklyn Vegan said of the band’s music: “the word ‘genre-defying’ gets thrown around a lot, but it’s not every day that you hear a band really earn it like Astronoid. They sound like so many things at once, but it all comes together in a way that sounds seamless…” NPR said they create “a surprisingly effective mix of shoegaze-y blast beats, pretty pop-punk singalongs and post-rock ambiance,” and Treble Zine praised the band, adding “there are simply so many elements to their music that still feel like novelties in much of heavy music…”
