Astroblue Express New Single: Kingdom of Moments

Astroblue Express is a band based in New York, NY. Their unique, experimental sound draws from all musical styles, but can best be described as dream pop/alt pop/space pop. Through their music the band explores the relationships between the organic and inorganic, technology and humans, existential questions about being, relationships, and love. Their latest single release “Kingdom of Moments” was born from a certain exhaustion that came about from trying to keep up with a fast paced society and finding happiness in a very material oriented life. It sprung from a feeling that ultimately, true joy and real wealth exist in the particular details and sensations of certain life moments. In the end that is our true kingdom, and it does not require money, only our presence and appreciation of that which surrounds us. “Kingdom of Moments” is the first single from Astroblue Express’s upcoming EP that promises to deliver a sense of wonder, optimism, and innovation. Look for it this fall. Listen to “Kindgom of Moments” on Spotify, Soundcloud or follow them on YouTube.
