In 2013, Astronaut‘s debut Supernova EP showcased their knack for beautiful hooks and heart-stirring melodies. This year they are showing an even stronger presence with a series of episodic releases of singles, each having its own accompanying music video. Their latest release, ‘Champions’, is their third installment and highlights the soulful vocals of Harry Brooks Jr. over an astonishing instrumental. The intro is kept simple with minimal percussion and soft piano laying the foundation for the piece. The mellow atmosphere allows the humanizing vocals to attract the listener’s attention. As the anthemic lead line slowly emerges and swells through the filter, the progressive drop erupts in full fashion, scripting together an inspirational hook that properly represents the excellent records released by Monstercat.
