Watch our new music video showcase series, What Was That Thing? Here we have Asta Rangu who performed their song, LTTRS live at the Flying Nun Records store.
Asta Rangu hail from Ōtepoti Dunedin. Their just released album came out via the excellent small cassette label Trace/Untrace - home to many great recent records by artists like Night Lunch and Kane Strang. Exuberant 90s power-pop is perhaps not a genre you associate with down south, but that’s what we have here; feel good and uplifting, happy/sad, late summer and the vibes of passing youth.
An understated pulse blends Voom, Matthew Sweet and Sparklehorse into something wistful, but at the same time both hopeful and exuberant.
If you like this, then check out their album - available on cassette and CD here.
Edited, filmed and recorded by Lochie Noble,Filmed and mixed by Ben Howe.
