Astrachan - Dangle | Audiotree Live (Chicago Selects)

From the creator

Download & stream Astrachan on Audiotree Live → https://lnk.to/AT-Astrachan Astrachan is the solo project and surname of curly-haired indie rock beefcake Ben Astrachan, a self-taught analog tapehead who conjures up his special blend of starry-eyed lofi folk rock in the candlelit haze of Puccini’s Studio, Astrachan’s basement bedroom/workspace on Chicago’s northwest side. It was from this sacred space that Astrachan brought his sophomore LP, ‘Cleaner than Clean’, into the world. Astrachan is also the co-founder of Berta Bigtoe (with Austin Koenigstein) and Astro Heart (with Ryan Gebhardt), and a tireless accomplice to fellow travelers Smushie, No Lonesome (etc), brightening stages across Chicago with his golden voice, polytechnic abilities, and good-natured boyish charm. Joined by Jeb Backe (vocals, guitar), Zak Taylor (drums), Meredith Nesbitt (bass), Ivan Pyzow (organ, tambourine, trumpet), and Joseph Powers (keys),  Astrachan’s live performance is a noisy, upbeat rock-and-roll affair. During his interview with Audiotree Host, FINGY, Astrachan and his band chat about finding their sound, balancing music and a day job, and the joys of baking. Check out Astrachan on Audiotree Live!
