Vancouver, CA's Astrakhan are proud to announce the upcoming release of debut full-length album, “Reward in Purpose”, on CD and vinyl formats.
The highly anticipated follow-up to 2014 EP “A Tapestry of Scabs” and Skin will be released on June 10th, 2016 via War on Music and Sunmask Records.
Check out the “Reward in Purpose” teaser video below.
Recorded by Jesse Gander and mastered by Stu McKillop at Rain City Recorders, “Reward in Purpose” stands as a singular piece of music and is meant to be taken as it is; the whole is indeed bigger than the sum of its parts. This album explores the perceptions and experience of the band over the last few years together and culminates with the realization that the true reward for which we search with any passionate endeavour is ultimately a matter of experiencing the highs and lows that come with the pursuit of pure expression. It is simply a matter being occupied with something that matters to you.
A video of the band performing new song “Omajod” at Vancouver Psychfest can be viewed below.
