Some call it acoustic rock, whereas others savour hints of the heyday of grunge and alternative music. But everyone can agree that the Astral Bakers tap into something magical, something that was once almost thought lost. On their 2024 studio debut, “The Whole Story”, the quartet from Paris combine dreamy nostalgic vocals with sepia-coloured guitar leads and an atmosphere that could have come straight out of a coming-of-age flick from the late 1990s. It’s rock music for falling in love or being abandoned, for the evening after a stressful day at work or a short trip to the seaside at the weekend. The Astral Bakers have already found an idiosyncratic style that stands out amongst thousands of bands. This could also be due to the fact that all the group’s members have already worked with such illustrious acts as Woodkid, Clara Luciani, and November Ultra. And they will be demonstrating their skills live with us in September.
