Who is Astromancer

Bart

Astromancer, the enigmatic musical entity, exists on the fringes of the rock music scene, a nebula of ever-evolving talent coalescing around the enigmatic central figure known simply as "Bart." With his mesmerizing guitar riffs and hauntingly evocative vocals, Bart serves as the gravitational force that binds the ever-changing constellation of musicians. Astromancer's ethereal sound defies categorization, fusing elements of progressive rock, spacey psychedelia, and complex poetry into a cosmic symphony. Their elusive performances feel like a journey through uncharted galaxies, where each member of the ever-rotating ensemble contributes their unique celestial energy. Though obscured in the vastness of the music industry, Astromancer's mystique continues to draw in stargazing music enthusiasts seeking the sublime and the extraordinary.

Carbon Monoxide

Astromancer's debut album Carbon Monoxide is the story of a guilt-ridden anti-hero, who finds himself driving his car through the tunnels of the capital one morning. Not sure wether he's alive - hallucinating because of carbonmonoxide toxic fumes - or dead. Maybe he's a ghost, driving his haunted car for all eternity. We follow him in his attempt to understand his ordeal, as his search for the truth leads him to peer back through the 'broken pieces of yesterday'. Reminiscing on a string of meaningless one night stands, he realises there was only One. As the album progresses, reality and dream become increasingly intertwined, culminating in a shockingly dramatic climax, revealing what might have really put him in this twilight zone.

Press

“Serge Simonart (SS) from Humo magazine added us to his favourite releases of 2013. We are in the great company of amongst others Arno, Roy Harper, Nine Inch Nails and The Flaming Lips !!”

Serge Simonart, Humo

“Carbon Monoxide van Astromancer laat op hun debuut de stemmige Leonard Cohen echo's olijk tegen elkaar opbotsen”

Humo

“De warme psychedelische koortsdroom Carbon Monoxide heeft de rust van Leonad Cohen, het donkere van The Cure, het zweverige van Porcupine Tree, en het weidse van Pink Floyd in Roger Waters modus. Muziek voor fijnprovers”

(bvm), RifRaf

“‘Carbon Monoxide’ is een album dat het best alleen in het donker, liefst met nog wat dramatische regen op de achtergrond, beluisterd wordt. Je hoeft zeker niet bang te zijn voor hoofdpijn, misselijkheid en een onverklaarbare vermoeidheid die typisch zijn voor een koolstofmonoxidevergiftiging, maar bereid je wel voor op gegarandeerde kippenvelmomenten.”

Lindsey De Laet, Indiestyle.be

“Het conceptalbum werd uiterst fantasievol uitgewerkt waarbij metaforen, mood, textuur, melodie en composities als het ware een Atlantis van de geest laten herrijzen. Bovendien worden alle meergelaagde teksten in een artistiek boekje meegegeven, ook al een zeldzaamheid.”

Marcie, Rootstime.be

Television

Music by Astromancer was featured in the fourth and fifth episode of “De Ridder”, the quality series on VRT. The Belgian national television broadcaster, together with production company Eyewinks and Poppunt, selected a number of bands for the soundtrack, and Astromancer made the cut. Twice!

Press

“Astromancer is niet langer een studioproject, maar een live-groep met een seventiesvibe die opnames durft aan te pakken zonder een clicktrack in te zetten. De drie verse songs en de twee nieuwe versies van de nummers die op het eerste album stonden klinken spontaan. Welsman Daniel McBrearty verrijkt de up-tempo song “The Station” met z’n aanstekelijke sax, de Zuid-Afrikaanse Dora Scott levert treffende backing vocals en gitarist Wannes Casier is zonder meer een aanwinst voor de groep”

Rif Raf

“Astromancer is het project en de band van en rond Bart Dumolyn. Twee jaar geleden maakte het debuut 'Carbon Monoxide' indruk, zij het op veel te kleine schaal. Toen was het stil, en nu is er ineens de single 'Three Odd Whispers', die bijna net zo stil is. Gevoelig zonder sentimenteel te worden; klassiek, maar nooit cliché; en voor een gefluisterde song komt ie behoorlijk krachtig binnen.”

Humo
