Album Review: Astrid & The Asteroids - Astrid And The Asteroids

Stephanie Tell

Frontwoman Astrid Jorgensen has personality in abundance, which often results in her backing music being hidden beneath her dominant vocals.



Frontwoman Astrid Jorgensen has personality in abundance, which often results in her backing music being hidden beneath her dominant vocals. Shrouded in a veneer of quirkiness, the EP opens with single West End, which features playful, spoken word-style vocals. While the vocals don't take themselves seriously, the music certainly does – in a jazzy, '90s pop way. Second single Autopsy is more interesting in terms of dynamics, speed and energy, however this release will largely appeal to fans of that particular style of sultry R&B-pop, as it doesn't transcend the genre.
