The USA-based post-punk/darkwave unit Astari Nite unveils "Double Feature Matinee," the fourth music video off the Resolution Of Happiness album, which was released in June via Negative Gain Productions. This brand new video joins "Ashtray Ballet," "Bowie In Daydreams," and "Tongue Tied Galore" in short music films.
Astari Nite vocalist Mychael comments: "We had a few songs that we were very pleased with and wanted to share this year, so we released our Resolution Of Happiness record a few months back, in the summer of June. This one song in particular, "Double Feature Matinee" was quite playful! It is a real delight to play out at concerts, a song that I am not ashamed to admit is honestly about me. So, we set out to create a music video with a little help from our friends! Snippets, if you will, were taken from a few special days and nights of our lives while traveling and playing in my new shoes. Honestly, at this stage in my life, I find it to be healing, surrounded by individuals that simply enjoy being alive and are accompanied by a vibrant and cheerful personality. The word "fun" kind of drives me mad, though I'm finding that it's okay to have some whenever needed. I personally can't be gloomy all the time; you know what I mean? I would rather smile the most instead. Happy Holidays and I wish everyone a lot of love going into the start of the new year."
Astari Nite blends shadowy atmospheres, powerful rhythms, and innovative soundscapes, inviting listeners into a world where conventional boundaries dissolve and the unexpected thrives. The band transcends traditional genres, showcasing 90s-laced alternative music with elements of darkwave and glam. More info about the album Resolution Of Happiness can be found HERE. Link
