Paul Roland

Astral Magic is a new solo project by ex-Dark Sun bass and Moog player Santtu also known as Dj Astro. During the covid-19 lockdown the idea came from the stars to do something creative to kill the extra time and get seriously into home-recording. Many international musicians have contributed to this project, like ex-members of Hawkwind Nik Turner (R.I.P.) and Bridget Wishart. Musical styles vary from electronic/ambient/experimental to heavy space rock, kraut, psych rock, prog and even pop.

For four decades Roland has been spinning twisted tales of Victorian villains, eccentric Edwardian inventors and the supernatural against a backdrop of gothic-psych-baroque pop, earning him the title “the male Kate Bush” (a comparison attributed to former label mate Robyn Hitchcock). His highly literate lyrics, often macabre themes and strong melodic gift has attracted an increasingly large and loyal cult following while his proudly independent ethos has ensured he has remained a cherished niche artist.

Tommy Keyes

The 1^st single from the eagerly-awaited album The Key of blue.  The legendary music writer Jackie Hayden (the man who discovered U2) says it’s “a joyous track which combines Keyes’ trademark pianistic skills and gritty vocals with a catchy melody as well as brilliant sax from former Van Morrison sideman Richie Buckley and some charming 50s-style doo-wop backing vocals featuring the excellent Thomas Walsh (of Pugwash fame) and Ellen O’Mahony.”

Tommy Keyes is an Irish singer-songwriter who returned to music in 2016 after almost 40 years away.  The forthcoming album is his 8^th and he’s had 5 Number Ones in the Irish iTunes singles charts.

Simon Andersson

                                                                   

Simon is an artist who makes music that defies all expectations and genre boundaries. From the punchy energy of rock down to the melodies of pop, anything goes! What makes Simon special is that he has found a way to combine all of these songs in ways that don't sound like mismatched genres clashing together but more like a unique formula - something new coming out of the synergy of the different elements at play. The artist's most recent studio work, "Try," is a striking example.

Overall, the song has a smooth, understated quality to it, with the lush melodies merging with the hopeful lyrics. Simon's vocals and the beautiful artwork image convey a sense of hope and motivation, as this song offers a very positive message. At times, life can be challenging, and our struggles might seem insurmountable; but all we have to do is… try!
