Reviews:
"Astralia took me by shock and overpowered me with its rawness and well crafted sound. Although only 33 minutes long, quality absolutely trumps quantity here. Each of the five tracks are unique, full of life and can’t be overlooked. You would simply be insane to hit the skip button on this album. This is a must listen to album of 2012. 95/100" -- Postrockstar.com
"Their music is your typical post-rock; ambient guitars, vocal samples, and the usual format of slow ambient intros that carry on and climax to loud guitar riffs and distortion. If you’ve heard other post-rock bands before, Astralia’s music can be reminiscent of Caspian in their The Four Trees album, although I’d consider Caspian’s sound a bit heavier than Astralia." -- Manic Music Mondays
"...Barcelona - a place of joy and awesomeness. This place, language, area would forever be in my heart. I don't want to rush with conclusions, but the same might happen with the music of those guys. It's somehow warm, soothing and ... everything that I want from a post-rock track...". -- Stereofox.com

Astralia was born in La Floresta (Barcelona) in November 2010. After searching from different musical styles, decided to create songs with new sounds, new atmospheres, new textures, often governed by the simplicity of a few notes. Songs that demand their time, their pauses.
