This new musical project that goes by the name of Fig Astro from Dublin is debuting in “VR”, a groovy and catchy, 60’s inspired single about how BIG TECH is objectifying you! Out now!
ORDER “VR” ON BANDCAMP NOW!
With years of experience behind their backs in Ireland’s Indie music scene, Fig Astro is creating music that is both delightful and mind-bending. Created by musicians Fiachra Lennon and Andrew Lyster, Fig Astro is a new musical promise that will definitely raise a good number of eyebrows.
The “VR” single offers the perspective that we as a species are making our own way to our own demise.
“VR” is such a great debut. Musically speaking it’s a very creative and “out of the box” composition. Although it was influenced by “A Day In The Life” by The Beatles, the song offers a minimalistic yet complex instrumentation, with such a simple but powerful groove and psychedelic melodies / ambiences that make us feel back in a different era.
An analog sound for analog lovers. Retro and modern vibes mixed together elegantly, with a classy and tasteful composition. Silky smooth, innovative, and unique, this debut really puts Fig Astro under the “must listen” category.
Lyrically, the narrator, a digital algorithm, is indelicate towards its human subject, who is consistently referred to as “IT” rather than “she”. as the listener is stuck with objectification.
An LP full of groovy politically aware gems is due for release in the Autumn of 2024. So, listen now!
