Kae Astra

"Though one will likely find comparisons to contemporary artists such as Beach House and Grimes, classic artists such as Kate Bush are never far from memory when listening to the song weave its emotional tapestry." - PopMatters

"'Medicate' takes on the feeling of laudanum, waves of euphoria building and crescendoing just out of reach. Her starry-eyed incantation has a depth of sound and subject that’s especially surprising…” - Audiofemme

Kae Astra is an Armenian-American music artist currently based in Austin, TX. 80’s nostalgia, haunting melodies, and a lush dream pop soundscape intertwine in her debut EP Fortune, a collaboration between Kae Astra and Austin, TX mainstays Walker Lukens and Curtis Roush (of The Bright Light Social Hour) who produced the EP. The songs were mixed by Danny Reisch (Wye Oak, The Octopus Project, White Denim) and mastered by Dave Cooley (M83, Animal Collective, Washed Out).

Kae Astra melds her history of music making with a newfound effervescent energy as frontwoman and lead songwriter for this project. The songs go deep spiritually and are undeniably danceable. You could hear them in the club, a yoga class, or while having a good cry—and be equally satisfied. Kae Astra says the overarching theme is “resilience”, mirroring both her personal journey and continued artistic pursuits. Expect to move and be moved.
