Astrachan - Signs (2025) [Hi-Res]

Astrachan is a solo effort fronted by Ben Astrachan, who fuses folk with “stomp and shout” indie. Recorded in an analog bedroom-style studio in his basement, the authenticity shines through the warmth of the track’s lo-fi production. It feels handcrafted, capturing a snapshot of joy and sincerity that’s always sought after in today’s indie landscape. Just in time to get on the tail-end of your summer of 2025 playlist, “Doorposts” is a song that will have you singing along by the second chorus and drumming on the steering wheel with reckless abandon.

“Chicago multi-instrumentalist Ben Astrachan was born nearly two generations after 1967’s famous Summer of Love, but he understands the whimsy, grace, and joy of that era’s music so well you’d think he helped make it happen.” - Leor Galil, Chicago Reader

“Astrachan’s indie melodies intertwine love, and adventure, crafting a blissful sonic tapestry of pure lo-fi brilliance.” - Tammy Moir, Happy Mag
