Our Take

The latest offering from AUDIOBOOKS, “Astro Toughin”, is a wild sonic journey filled with quirky beats, infectious melodies, and experimental production. This British duo definitely isn't afraid to push the boundaries of traditional music genres, blending elements of electronica, indie pop, and psychedelic rock into a truly unique sound.

From the opening track, “Space Dub”, you're immediately transported into a futuristic world where anything is possible. The hypnotic vocals of Evangeline Ling, combined with David Wrench's masterful production, create a sense of otherworldly wonder that is both captivating and disorienting.

Tracks like “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and “Robot Disco” showcase AUDIOBOOKS' playful approach to music-making, with their eclectic mix of samples, synths, and drum machines creating a danceable yet off-kilter vibe that will have you grooving in no time.

However, not every track on “Astro Toughin” hits the mark. The over-the-top production on songs like “Cosmic Dancer” can feel a bit overwhelming at times, and the lyrics can often feel jarring and disjointed.

Overall, “Astro Toughin” is a fun and adventurous album that will appeal to fans of experimental music looking for something fresh and exciting. AUDIOBOOKS may not have created a masterpiece, but they've certainly crafted an album that is as bold and colorful as the galaxy itself.
