\"Astrobal<\/a>Astrobal<\/a> is the project of Emmanuel Mario, who’s known for his drumming stunts and collaborations with artists like Laetitia Sadier, Arnaud Fleurent-Didier, Holden and Hyperclean, to mention but a few. With two EP’s released under this moniker, last week saw the release of his debut full-length album, Australasie<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“The album is aqueous, each track a slow wave building before a momentous crash of sound, with clean lines and fluid form”, says the press release. “Symphonic strings and ethereal ambient washes are married to buzzing synths and Astrobal’s crisp, crackling drums.”.<\/p>\n

Australasie <\/em>is out now through Plug Research<\/a> and you can head over to their soundcloud<\/a> to stream the album in its full glory. And for a taste of what you’ll find there, here’s a video for the title track, featuring Laetitia Sadier. Patrice Curtillat directs.<\/p>\n
