We had a great session with Jason Shaw at Fuzzface Studio last week. Recorded 3 new songs in a mammoth session. We had an incredible day of fun and music. So good to spend time together and feel that excitement you only get in a studio. Our plan is to release multiple singles in 2023. Look out for details and gig news. Here we are recording handclaps at 4 am. X

Hi all!

On January 21st we release ‘Through the Darkness of Your Life’ & ‘Opposites Meet’ which was an old song of Willie’s for Astrid but never recorded. About post Strange Weather Lately era.

It’s coming out on my own label NO BIG DEAL MUSIC and we’re doing a limited run of 300 7” singles hopefully ready in time for the tour.

Hi everyone. First, thank you very much to all of you that have shown us support, goodwill and love since we reformed.

As you all know it’s been a really terrible time for everyone involved in the music industry, unfortunately we’ve been affected by it as much as everyone else, and sadly, it’s come to the point that we feel we need to cancel the upcoming tour.

The uncertainty has been throwing a major spanner in the works for making it happen the way we wanted it to.

We’ve decided to come back with new music which will definitely be followed by a tour once we are all out at the other end of these strange and stressful days.

We’d like to sincerely thank all the venues we were due to play, thank you to all of them for their patience and perseverance, we wish them all the best for the months ahead. We’re really looking forward to the day we can play a show for you all again.

We’ve both been busy doing solo projects, Willie’s album is out already with a run of new singles planned for next year, he’s contributing to the Between Islands project album. Charlie’s Eagerly awaited album on It’s Creation23 is due for release in March with his first single coming in January.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all things Astrid related on this page, live streams are in the pipeline so keep an eye out for those dates.

Thanks also to our agent Craig Wylie for all his hard work and insight at an incredibly challenging time and to Tam Coyle for his support and advice. We’re working with some great people, we’re so looking forward to getting underway again properly. Keep in touch folks and stay safe.

Lots of love. Willie and Charlie x

Hello everyone! Firstly we want to thank all our fans, friends and family for all the support you’ve shown us over these last few years since we decided to reform! It really has been the best years of Astrid in many ways! Fall, Stand,Dance (our first album in 15 years) has been nominated for the Scottish Album Of The Year Award (The SAY Award) 2020. We have so much news to announce over the coming months regarding tours, new album and other good stuff but as we cannot justify spending a fortune we simply don’t have on PR to spread the word about this ☹️ It would mean so much (Scottish fans in particular) if you could take a moment to share this post. Peace and love to you all! Willie & Charlie x 🦋

Hey folks, hope you’re all keeping well. We’re delighted to say that our new single Flying and Falling is released through iTunes on Friday 10th April. This is the latest single from our Storm Sessions EP.

We’re fully aware this is a strange time to be plugging music, you all have a lot going on but hope you enjoy a 3 and a half minute switch off.

This song is from one of our favourite films ‘Crazy Heart’, if you haven’t seen it you’re in for a real treat. 

Available to pre-order here for just 79p.
