audiobooks - Astro Tough (Blk) [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. Audiobooks threw absolutely everything at their 2018 debut album, Now! (in a minute), a hectic, head-spinning blast of freewheeling freak-pop genius. On it's follow-up, Astro Tough, they've somehow found a way to ramp things up even further, concentrating their chaotic energy and inherent weirdness into a record that's bigger, deeper and more powerful than even it's predecessor. Multi-instrumentalist and super-producer/mixer David Wrench - known for his work with Frank Ocean, the xx, Caribou, David Byrne, Manic Street Preachers and Goldfrapp - and writer, vocalist and visual artist Evangeline Ling, reach new peaks of creativity, more confident than ever before in their abilities to forge something focussed, singular and unique out of the explosive combination of their talents. On Astro Tough, audiobooks are completely sincere. They're also completely joyous, wild, angry, powerful, hilarious, vicious, vulnerable and intense, and most of all completely brilliant.
