ASTRAKHAN – Debut Full-Length Reward In Purpose Out In June
April 6, 2016, 8 years ago
Vancouver, CA's Astrakhan have announced the upcoming release of debut full-length album, Reward In Purpose, on CD and vinyl formats. The follow-up to 2014 EP A Tapestry Of Scabs And Skin will be released June 10th on War on Music and Sunmask Records. A teaser video is streaming 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 endeavor 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.
