ASTRAL SWANS – Canadian Musician Grooves On New Single ‘SHiNE THE LIGHT’ With Company Of Some Freaky Sax

New striking strokes

22 September 2023

Artist: ASTRAL SWANS
Who: The project of human songmaker
Matthew Swann from Calgary, Canada.

New single: SHINE THE LIGHT featuring Jairus Shariff

“My new song, “Shine the Light Inside,” came about during an artist residency. I lived
in a hotel room for three months in downtown Calgary where I wrote and recorded music within the isolation of my suite. My early music career was informed by DIY home recording
and experimenting in unorthodox ways whereas my last two full length records were full
studio productions with a lot of collaboration.

I wanted to make something weird by myself, playing with bizarre sounds and structures.
I used the cheapest midi controller I could find, one microphone, an interface for guitar and bass. Featuring a freeform noise sax solo from Jairus Sharif, I’d love for you to hear “Shine the Light Inside,” a song about a billionaire’s rocket going off course à la Major Tom. “

TUTV: This Krautrock-like electronic groover, driven by a rotating guitar-bass
riff, moves on and on, and creeps under your skin without asking. Swann gets
company somewhere in the middle, when a freaky saxophone pops up in the
back and adds a hallucinatory disturbance to this notable feat.

I propose to shoot Eton Musk, in space, on a one-way ticket
while I play Shine the Light Inside on repeat here on Earth.

Band: SIG SALI
Who: Electro pop duo from Bristol, UK

New single: PILLOW THOUGHTS

Sig Sali team up for the second time with Sydney based artist Natassa Zoë, to bring
forth their latest hard hitting indie-pop single. Producer Danny Pugh and vocalist
Imogen Chapman from Sig Sali have joined forces with Dande and The Lion’s Natassa
Zoê to craft a balance of emotion driven lyrics, with reverb-deep pop beats

Natassa Zoë (writer/vocalist/guitar) “Pillow Thoughts reflects a time when you’re searching for someone to pull you out of a hole, but the person you want most is the one that led to your demise in the first place. That toxic push and pull dynamic that can sometimes unfold in a relationship.”

“Danny, my brother, was visiting me from the UK in Sydney, summer of 2022 and I remember coming home from a run to these really bassy drum beats blasting out of the apartment. I picked up my guitar and we put the main hook down that I was hearing. I then went off and wrote the lyrics and came back and we recorded it in my apartment that day. “

flashes, lively drum and bass vibrancy and Zoë‘s both sensuous and feverish vocals.
