Headfirst Editor's Pick

"Free entry / PWYC! Former Ulrika Spacek frontman Astrel K sways dreamily between electronica, art rock, chamber pop and soul; fuzzy, funny songwriting that’s both uniquely eclectic and captivatingly timeless, like 70s pop from a parallel universe. Hard hitter FFO: Super Furry Animals, Mercury Rev, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Foreign Department is the second album by Astrel K, the solo project helmed by Stockholm-based British ex-pat, Rhys Edwards. Those already familiar with Edwards’ work will likely know him for fronting the cultishly great Ulrika Spacek, and given he operates as the principal songwriter in both projects, much of the same hallmarks of his cathartic, elliptical songwriting are present in Astrel K. Nonetheless, The Foreign Department feels like a rubicon moment of sorts, and the album that Edwards has unconsciously been working towards his entire creative life.
