Music

There is a palpable sense of urgency and driven exigency in ASTROMINAR's second album, The Stoics Were His Friends (The Stoics). ASTROMINAR's follow-up to their cinematic debut, Lostaudio, expands their musical and philosophical exploration. If Lostaudio was a journey into the cosmos, The Stoics ventures inward into the depths of the human experience of time, desolation, and spirit to overcome.

In The Stoics, there is no respite from its grasp - from the driving guitars and rhythm of the opening song, Tragic Sense of Life, to the pleading guitars that beseech reflection for action in Symphony For Empty Souls, to the psychedelic journey of Wall of Sound, the stoic mindset of Just Hold On, and other songs, to the album’s farewell ode to the passing of time, Another Day is Gone - The Stoics captures the imagination and innate philosophical thinking as you ride along its musical journey.

The Stoics Were His Friends, Vol. 1, is the two-song EP released ahead of the album’s release.
