Kid Astray is a 6 piece Indie Pop group out of Sandvika, Norway signed to Cosmos Music set to release their debut album on June 15th.
With precision-guided melodies and hooks for days, Kid Astray's songs aim right for the pop jugular. “We often write about love because that's something we like,” Jakob laughs. “We don't want to write songs about things we don't know anything about. We want to keep it simple in a way. Most of the lyrics are just imaginary, it's not like we're putting our lives in the lyrics, but it's always stuff we can relate to.” One of the things they can relate to is that very Scandinavian trait of, ironically given their general amazingness, not wanting to stand out from the crowd, a malaise repelled on the amazing, Phoenix-esque pep of new single Back To The Ordinary (key line: “they're trying to make me change who I am”). Co-written with K-pop collaborator Jesper Borgen and produced by Joe Cross, who's previously worked with Hurts and Chlöe Howl, it's the band's boldest, most immediate statement yet and the perfect prelude to their forthcoming debut album.
