Danish pop powerhouse The Asteroids Galaxy Tour, consisting of Lars Iversen & Mette Lindberg, have recently announced the release of their highly anticipated third studio album, Bring Us Together- set to drop today, September 16th via Hot Bus/Rough Trade! Having won audiences across the world over with their unique brand of deliciously fun & edgy pop, the Copenhagen duo will deliver eager fans & new listeners alike ten tracks of pure audio bliss.
Bring Us Together first single "My Club" is an instantly catchy pop masterpiece with a psychedelic vibe punctuated by pulsing club beats. Biting lyrics like "tonight, I'll be the bullet in your gun" are laid atop smooth, melodic horn samples & killer percussion.
Heavily inspired by the two years of non-stop promotional & touring madness (and subsequent sense of isolation) following their previous album, Bring Us Together finds the duo's desire to explore new musical avenues greater than ever before. As Iversen elaborates, "We wanted to create a heavier and slightly darker atmosphere for this album. The sound is more processed, and less "manual" than before- with more weighting on repetitive beats, bass grooves, chopped-up loops, and a more laidback vocal style." The result is a sound collage & pop symphony created from equal parts of chopped-up danceable beats, spaced-out synths & bright neon green pop hooks.
Immersed within the Copenhagen music scene, producer & multi-instrumentalist Iversen met Lindberg in 2007. The two would go on to record a debut EP (Around The Bend) & two studio albums, 2009's Fruit & 2012's follow-up Out of Frequency. They've quickly become one of Denmark's most prominent musical success stories, selling out venues around the globe & acquiring fans worldwide in the process.
