As Astari Nite’s melancholic maestro Mychael explains:
“I cannot deny the fact that clenching onto misery fascinates me. I mean, to catch a feeling through the air and allow it to play the strings of my heart continuously, has its own way of sharing a bit of comfort deep inside. Perhaps it is a form of selfish isolation, I like to think of it as an easier way to smile.”
Watch the video for “Leave Winter on the Ground” below:
“Leave Winter on the Ground” is featured on Astari Nite’s latest album Here Lies which is out now via Negative Gain and Danse Macabre Records.
Here Lies is a peculiar set of songs that professes the band’s views on the curiosity of magick and theories of love sworn to secrecy. Astari Nite was also given the chance to tell a story about cats, Christmas, Paganism, wondering what it’s like to be a girl, butterflies, and outer space. All these thoughts were merely inside, floating around somewhere, desperately wanting to be spoken about. They were heavily inspired by a handful of nameless perfect people. Post-Punk up and comers Twin Tribes and Wisborg provide remixes.
