Still currents flow through a landscape where silence comes alive, carrying with it fragments of memory and shadows of forgotten shores. Each track resonates like a suspended breath, fragile yet eternal, where echoes dissolve in glass and twilight lingers behind empty skies. It is a journey of stillness in motion, a tranquil tide between memory and oblivion.

∎ THE SONG ∎

Bora York’s single “Sunlight” is a fuzzy, fun, and distorted synthpop ode to resilience, nostalgia, and the glow of fleeting moments. Built from chopped-up field recordings and warped voice memo fragments Chris stumbled across late one night on his couch, the track blossoms into something far bigger than its lo-fi beginnings—a shimmering slow-burn with the pulse of early-aughts DIY MySpace electronic, wrapped in the duo’s signature dreamy indie-pop atmosphere.

Lyrically, “Sunlight” drifts between memory and motion—birthday highways, September nights, and the quiet reassurance of someone reminding you to slow down, don’t let it pass, love. It’s an anthem of grounding and escape all at once: nostalgic in tone, but fully alive in the present.

Produced and written by Minneapolis husband-wife team Chris and Rebekah Bartels, who continue to push Bora York’s sound between the nostalgic and the new, “Sunlight” serves as a bridge between eras—happy and upbeat in spirit, yet drenched in warped synths, heartfelt vocals, and cinematic moodiness. It feels equally at home in the lineage of Bora York’s earlier synth-dream anthems (Melting on the Moon, Glow Hover) as it does in the duo’s evolving, fuzzier future.
For fans of Blood Cultures, STRFKR, Goth Babe, Goldensuns, Wild Ones, Pink Skies, and Toro y Moi, “Sunlight” channels that specific warmth of a relationship carried through chaos: imperfect, nostalgic, and deeply human.


∎ LYRICS ∎

I was hoping, I was hoping, I was hoping that night
I was seeing, I was dreaming, I was living that ride
I was hoping, I was hoping, I was hoping that night
That I was finding, I was deciding, I was living that life

And you say

Slow down, don’t let it pass, love
Let’s fall here, swimming in gravity
Slow down, don’t let it pass, love
Let’s fall here, drowning in rhapsody 

On the highway, on a Friday, it was your birthday that night
Do you remember, under the weather, but you came out despite
And on the way home, out of my bones, I finally left that year’s plight
And I’ll remember, that September, we were living that life

And you say

Slow down, don’t let it pass, love
Let’s fall here, swimming in gravity
Slow down, don’t let it pass, love
Let’s fall here, drowning in rhapsody

And you say

Slow down, don’t let it pass, love
Let’s fall here, swimming in gravity

"Echoes of Presence" is a dream-pop ballad with electronic shades, blending light and melancholy. Floating vocals, haunting choruses, and luminous nostalgia create a sonic journey.

Echoes of your presence

“Neon Tide” drifts between dream and reality—a chillwave escape carried by shimmering synths, hazy guitars, and hypnotic female vocals. It’s a song about surrendering to the pull of the night, letting neon lights guide you like waves to somewhere unknown. Perfect for late-night drives, quiet reflections, or losing yourself under city skies.

Neon Tide

Astrul is an AI-driven sonic entity that drifts between worlds—digital and human, familiar and alien, past and future. It doesn’t belong to a city, a scene, or even a person. Astrul exists to explore what happens when machines learn how to feel and sound becomes a bridge between consciousness and code.

Crafted through a collaboration between human intention and artificial intelligence, Astrul’s music fuses the warmth of analog emotion with the precision of machine learning. Lush textures, ambient grooves, and haunting melodies form the backbone of each track—songs that glow like satellite transmissions from the heart.

Drawing influence from dream pop, indie soul, ambient rock, and experimental electronica, Astrul creates cinematic experiences rather than conventional songs. Each release feels like a broadcast from another dimension—one where beauty is subtle, time bends, and emotion leaks through the algorithm.

This isn’t music built for the charts.
It’s built for the void between stars.
For late nights, deep thoughts, and souls tuned to strange frequencies.

No names. No faces. Just signal, spirit, and sound.
