New Music: CØLDSTAR – Astronaut’s Lament

Astronaut’s Lament from CØLDSTAR triggers many happy memories for me, even with the melancholic textures, and the theme of escape.

The song is what I would describe as a ‘quiet anthem’ – one that, despite its subject matter and subtle tones, is best enjoyed with others. The lyrics and vocals are intimate and moving, with a message we can all relate to, because how many of us haven’t yearned to escape at some point, if only for a moment?

The melody and arrangement pushed that home, and if you’re familiar with the works of Deine Lakaien and VNV Nation, you’ll love this and find yourself drifting back to days spent with friends old and new at festivals and dark scene parties.
