ASTRONAUTALIS

It may sound like hyperbole, but there is truly no one out else there quite like Astronautalis. In addition to moonlighting as a travel writer, avid photographer, Harley­rider, and most assuredly being the first rapper to perform and have a piece on display at the world famous Venice Biennale, this nomadic wordsmith has been perfecting his own unique hybrid of hip­hop, indie rock and punk for over a decade. Cut The Body Loose is Astronautalis’ fifth full­length and also the first album he’s released since his Justin Vernon a.ka. Bon Iver­ fronted, high­profile hybrid project Jason Feathers, who released their debut De Oro last year. While sonically different from Astronautalis’ own music, he insists that in many ways this album was inspired by the making of De Oro.
