The post punk / dark wave band Astari Nite has just released a new single off their forthcoming album “Here Lies”. The album will be out this winter, but we get our first taste with the track “Dearly Beloved”. While compared to artists like Drab Majesty and even The Cure, this track reminds me of a darker version of The Psychedelic Furs.

For added measure, this track was mastered by Jason Corbett (ACTORS) at Jacknife Sound. Anything the ACTORS gang touches is always a recipe for success. Have a listen to “Dearly Beloved” below and keep your eye out for details on their new album.

When asked about the new single, singer Mychael says

“This friend of mine sure has a way with words, I’m intrigued by her capability to explain sorrow from afar. I quickly realized that sometimes there isn’t a diary left behind to follow when letting go of someone in the afterlife. I’m understanding that love / affection can pour down at any moment, kind of like the summer rain, in essence, “Dearly Beloved” can be described as a funeral – holiday song.”
