\"ASTR\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Although, I have to say my dalliances with ASTR<\/strong> have been sporadic, I have also been tentatively gunning for the NYC noise making duo to go large in the audio visual sense. <\/p>\n

It is true to say though, Zoe Silverman<\/strong> and Adam Pallin<\/strong> known as ASTR<\/strong> cannot be discounted for packing in the vibes, which literally ooze with the juiciest of EDM \/ electronic pop flavour.<\/p>\n

Jumping in and out of an atmospheric R\u2019n\u2019B served influence the onus is all pointed towards the electronic on current single \u201cBleeding Love<\/strong>\u201d, which certainly is positioned as no remake of Leona Lewis\u2019s<\/strong> hit single of the same name.<\/p>\n

Coming off of the duo\u2019s sophomore EP \u201cHomecoming<\/strong>\u201d, \u201cBleeding Love<\/strong>\u201d goes forward with something of a haunting veneer seeping through its tightly fizzing electronic pop fabric. A moment of dark release, if you will, which breaks up the cycle of the EP\u2019s largely sonically charged offerings. <\/p>\n

Since ASTR<\/strong> are now bound for a showcase at this year\u2019s SXSW<\/strong>, they\u2019ve also pulled up to the grade by facilitating a video in essence which adheres to a futuristic theme throughout. Depicting ASTR\u2019s<\/strong> vision of new age embracement with a strong symbolic connection pertaining to the dark side of relationship\u2019s thereof.<\/p>\n

There was us first thinking how similarly Zoe<\/strong> struck us standing there looking all Ana Matronic<\/strong> until it became evident that she and Adam<\/strong> were not having a kiki, far from it. With a sense of drama and theatre. ASTR<\/strong> punch weight driven by a slightly sinister edge that is all the more delicious by its choice of glitchy visuals. Detailed of a battle of wills at large, both staking their claim of defiance in the complex issues that arise from being involved with matters of the heart.<\/p>\n

More importantly ASTR<\/strong> have come through with all the provocatively seductive disposition that we knew they could be, so hot at.<\/p>\n
