about

Late Aster's debut EP True and Toxic is a collection of musical sketches on the modern human condition. Focused on relationships, politics, science, and digital society, the songs string together disparate mediums and influences—digital and analogue, silicon and brass, composed and improvisatory—to create a soundtrack for the polarizing present. Each song is paired with visual accompaniment created in collaboration with Four/Ten Media, Deadeye Press, Harrison Atkins, and Kelsey Boncato.

Their kaleidoscopic style is grounded in the electronic processing of trumpet and French horn and supported by meticulous songwriting and sound-sculpting.
