I’m very proud to announce the official release of The Many Colors of [astral projects]. This album is the culmination of ideas materialized in 2012. Styles range from mellow funk, to boogie, to disco, to jazz-funk, to hypnagogic.

Characterized by swirling organs, warm Rhodes, vintage synths,  and syncopated bass, this collection stands as the most advanced work from [astral projects] Records thus far, and as a sampler of the featured artists’ upcoming projects in the next few months.

Hi-res art .pdf files come with the digital release. Or if you prefer a physical copy there will be a limited edition disc that might come with some more surprises so you can get your copy. Also, if you purchase a physical copy, you’ll get a free digital copy as well. In the next couple weeks we’ll be expanding into more popular online music stores.

As mentioned before, every track here is part of a larger project from each individual artists. This collection stands as a sort of jumping off point of our new development. For instance, The Nubians record (Changing With The Times) will be released in late January, upon which point there will be some more announcements.

With all that said, I’m sure you’ll feel this joint as much as I do. -Js.One

I’m extremely happy to present to you Together Bros. Burden Of Dreams. This one has been a labor of love, in the works for a about two months (give or take a couple weeks). The way it turned out is equal parts Js.One & ‘Nova, blending boogie, funk, & hip-hop into something inventive and proud to carry the [astral projects] label. To all the bloggers out there, feel free to toss it up, or promote (if so inclined) onto your sites, especially if you feel [ap] or Vintage Crates!

It has also come to my attention in the past couple days that I need to  re-release The Nubians EP The New Flavor from 2006. A proper release for this joint will come in a couple weeks. Until then, enjoy the new Together Bros.
