Astrid - West Lighthouse Is Not So Far - Music CD

The West Lighthouse Is Not So Far is the fourth album by French band Astrid. The compositions, each titled after a lighthouse, create ambient soundscapes, filled with sparkling details and ornaments, which fluidly move into disturbing moments when strong basslines meet repetitive percussion. The band shows how thin the border is between harmless calm and storms of heavy guitar waves. Recorded and mixed by Cyril Secq at Goulephar Studio in the countryside of Nantes, France, between March 2013 and January 2014. Composed and performed by Cyril Secq, Vanina Andreani, Guillaume Wickel, and Yvan Ros.
