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

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.
