Heavyweight sound from Bristol town

No wave. No logic. Somewhere between art rock and electronica. Using broken technology to make very human moments, Annette’s songs take sharp, twisted routes making your feet move one way and your head in very much another. Stuttering drums, liquid sex bass, post punk squonk and sporadic noise constitute a sound like no other.

Early 2025 will be spent recording their 2nd album, continuing their push into the North, as well as returning to Europe to bend some ears.

"The range on show has no limits for this quartet... This is an album that tilts on the pinpoint of intrigue and innovation, providing mystery in the direction they may take, a new layer is introduced and the sound diverts in an instant to begin the journey again... the perfect breeding ground for a new immense sound" Noizze

"Rather than just rely on raw power they have moulded their sound into something stylish and intelligent and I could easily see them playing a set at the Tate Modern or MOMA." JOYZINE

Music Producer.
All tracks uploaded or reposted to this page have been produced by Matthew Sexton.
I am truly passionate about two things in life; Music Production & Cooking. I used to think these two skills were mutually exclusive. But, I have learnt from experience that there are patterns & similarities between creating a dish in the kitchen & producing a track in the studio.

My music is influenced by a variety of genres; hip-hop, funk, rock, dance... 
My productions attempt to draw influences from the greats; George Martin, Dr Dre, Brian Eno and Brian Wilson

Astral Gray's otherworldly wall-of-sound vocals sit atop psychedelic Floydian grooves, characterised by wobbling synths and slide guitars straight from the 70s playbook. However, it quickly becomes clear that Astral Gray isn’t simply a nostalgia merchant. The slick modern production means it can stand next to offerings such as Weyes Blood or Father John Misty. Elsewhere, the acerbic lyricism is reminiscent of post-punk’s railing against modern themes like the environment and tortuous evaluation of the self. At its core the introspective celestial soft rock unfurls like an early autumnal evening, leading the listener somewhere equal parts familiar and entirely from the beyond. Sharing stages with the likes of Sugar Candy Mountain, Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek and The New Eves has set Astral Gray well within the melting pot of the Brighton music scene.
