Vantastival And So I Watch You From Afar ASIWYFA

And So I Watch You From Afar

ByAndrew Miller

Northern Ireland band ASIWYFA has been instilling euphoria in audiences through their music in a live setting for the last five years. Their first two albums were both nominated for the Choice Music Prize Irish Album of the Year and they have taken their uplifting sound to places other bands could only imagine. Their third album All Hail Bright Futures (released in March 2013) is their boldest statement yet, an album bursting with a positive vigor, that states a renewed case for a magnetizing band at their best. There is a new colour scheme in place: new textures, emotions, sounds and voices.

“Irish post-rock titans And So I Watch You From Afar make implausible fretboard shredding sound so exciting they’ll make you want to play more air guitar than Bill and Ted on an excellent adventure”. Robert Cooke, The Fly
