WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:
Argonaut & Wasp released their debut album “STARLIGHT 99” earlier this month and if you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re seriously missing out. The 15-track album covers some of the best indie-electronic records we’ve heard in years. Not only does it showcase the best of the best of the band’s work but it highlights the incredible journey these guys have endured. Here’s what they have to say about the new album:
"We formed Argonaut & Wasp over a love for house/dance music while living in Burlington, VT. We were part of a thriving jam scene, but we never really fit in. When we moved to Brooklyn in 2015, we found inspiration from the city itself and the different vibrant scenes within it. Our sound has developed into something that combines the rhythm and energy from house music, takes cues from the jam/funk scene, and incorporates our love for the 'leave everything on the table' attitude of NYC.
This album was written (for the most part) during lockdown which allowed us some time to reflect and take a break from the grind of shows & touring. We named it STARLIGHT 99 since the album is about looking up and seeing beyond your world; to not only see the bigger picture but to become a part of it. As we go through paradigm shifts in our culture and environment - we hope this album can offer a liberating perspective to guide our listeners into our collective new & unprecedented future. We wrote 99 songs, these are the 15 that made it.
Drawing on musical inspiration across decades - 70s rock n roll, 80s synths, 90s-2000's house - we picked out our favorite parts & added some Brooklyn, NYC flair to create our first truly cohesive body of work and debut album. This album is Argonaut & Wasp."
Accompanying the new album is a music video for “Dog Days” and could only be described as nostalgic and dreamy. We decided to feature it at the top but we strongly encourage you to check out the rest of the album here. All-in-all, we’re confident you’re going to love “STARLIGHT 99” just as much as we do. Don’t forget to connect with the band online to stay up to date and enjoy!
