Even though this project came out in mid-June of this year, I’m still writing about about it because I think it might have fallen under some people’s radar and it’s terrific. Glenn Astro and Ajnascent were two high-school friends who after years of trying to connect, finally came together in Berlin to record a mini-LP titled Even. Both producers have different sounds. Glenn Astro is a much soulful composer and musician, taking his influences from old soul and disco tunes. I would characterise Ajnascent’s music as darker and more experimental, but the sound on this new new album is a breath of fresh air.
With intricate live drumming throughout the album (‘Nefastis Machine feat. IMYRMIND’ is a go-to for that), gorgeous guitar leads (‘Viktor And The Gemini’ especially), silky synths and infectious grooves (Диско’ (‘disco’) embodies the spirit), this album is playful, upbeat and worth your listen.
