Next week, Aster will release Some Things Seldom Heard Of for your purchasing pleasure. Make sure their album is one thing you WILL HEAR. MMkay?

This morning I was thinking about how to review Aster. I popped the disc in and drove to work, listening, thinking, repeating, etc. It's almost overwhelming to pick out all the different pieces of each track. There is such depth and texture to their music it's incredible.

It is difficult to distinguish the best part of Aster's music though because in one ear I'm loving the bells and in the other ear I am caught by their lyrics. Real life lyrics about the corporate world, politics, it is truly all encompassing. You'll find yourself tapping a foot to the chimes while letting the verses absorb.

They remind me a bit of Straylight Run or perhaps a toned done melodic pop version of Ben Kweller. Regardless as to who you may or may not compare them to, their music is top notch. And I am positive by first listen you will be compelled enough to want more.

Listen:
Aster - "Run Away From The Suit" (mp3)

BUY THEIR ALBUM!
