Astronoid’s unique blend of prog, thrash and dream pop brought them a small legion of fans with their debut album, Air, in 2016. Having toured with acts like Ghost and Periphery, the young Boston act have brought their newfound experience to a fresh self-titled record, which will crash into earth on Feb. 1.
