One hot summer afternoon, this three piece shoegaze band jammed their truck full of drums and guitars and made the drive from Houston to our studio here in Dallas. Between the start of my time at Radio UTD, when I started telling Jimmy, the guitarist, that his band should come play for us, and the afternoon we recorded this session, Astragal formed from a group of friends-of-friends who hit it off, then signed to Miss Champagne records, and released an EP and split on cassette and bandcamp. Now, after this session, they’re working on a new record and playing shows in their hometown. Take a listen to the session here and if you’d like to learn more, check out this interview with them about their history as a band, the vibrant Houston music scene, and their interesting experiences playing music.
