Astoria is the latest in Robin Guthrie's series of instrumental ep's recorded at his home studio in Bretagne France, inspired by his post-pandemic travels.
The latest ep opens with A Most Remarkable Woman who appears to be imbued with a sylph like magisterial beauty, shining through the slow gauzy synths.
Starting Fires in this case is done in hushed tones, rather than the gargantuan infernos engulfing Southern California, this is a far less damaging fire, being one of intense desire.
Jura is slow contemplative ambient tones to relax and drift off with. Chilled absorbing the wonders of the world around you, your travels continue.
The ep closes with Smoulder that is more evocative of the look in a perspective lover’s eyes than a fire, the piano slowly draws you closer to the desire you see smouldering before you.
