Astrachan has released a new single called “Picture of Doubt” via Happen Twice. This is the solo project of Ben Astrachan of Berta Bigtoe (with Austin Koenigstein) and Astro Heart (with Ryan Gebhardt).
When asked about the new single Ben says, “We often ask when the world will end or begin, but for the vast majority of people on this planet, the world as they knew it has already ended, or never even began. Through colonization, climate collapse, displacement, and systemic violence, many communities are already living in a kind of aftermath. This project challenges the idea of a singular apocalypse and instead centers those who have long been surviving and creating within the ruins.”
