Emerging out of the Los Angeles underbelly with support from the likes of NPR, ASHRR caught the attention of tastemakers by casting a wide net over electronic soul, space disco, and indie dance to capture a sound reflecting the melancholic haze of late summer combined with the thrill of a late night adventure. Following their initial success, the trio expanded upon their debut EP with the release of their first full album, 'Oscillator', described by critics as a 'set of pop tunes that balance easy hooks with rhythmic elegance, bespeaking a love of the sophisticated side of the British new wave.'After sharing a string of singles post-pandemic, ASHRR found a new home on Ralph Lawson's 20/20 Vision with the release of 'Talking In Your Sleep'. Soon after ASHRR joined their sound with dub legend Scientist and Felix Dickinson with a pack of remixes that came alongside the release of 'Fizzy', which garnered support from KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. Most recently the band ignited their hot streak with 'What's Been Turning You On', with remixes by System Olympia along with upcoming remixes from Ron Trent and more, and their brand new made for the dancefloor ASHRR SOUNDSYSTEM. LA trio ASHRR, aka lead vocalist Steven Davis and producer-musician-vocalists Josh Charles and Ethan Allen, are back with a brilliant new album for Ralph Lawson's superb 20/20 Vision Recordings that finds them working by the old mantra of 'art for art's sake'. This effortlessly eclectic record melds electronic soul, post-punk, space disco and indie-dance and is rich in melancholic melody, hazy, late-summer moods and late-night dancing. The vocals bring an indie edge to jangling delights like 'Please Don't Stop The Rain', while 'What's Been Turning You On' is a laidback and languid groove for lazy sessions. Ultimately ASHRR sounds like 'Roxy Music jamming with ESG in Central Park on a sunny Sunday'! What more needs to be said?Tracklisting:A1. Please Don't Stop The RainA2. Different Kind of LifeA3.
