Astro Tough

David Wrench and Evangeline Ling - aka audiobooks - threw absolutely everything at their 2018 debut album, ‘Now! (in a minute)’, a hectic, head-spinning blast of freewheeling freak-pop genius. On its follow-up, ‘Astro Tough’, via Heavenly Recordings, they’ve somehow found a way to ramp things up even further, concentrating their chaotic energy and inherent weirdness into a record that’s bigger, deeper and more powerful than even its predecessor. Though the record is a product of increased refinement, the pair were physically together only in bursts, cramming sessions around their respectively hectic calendars. “We had much less time together than on the first record, but every time I did see David that thirst and the ability to come up with something was there. I think this record is better than the first record, and I think we’re dying to make more. We’re going to try and better it again,” says Ling.
