Astrel
K
is
Rhys
Edwards
of
Ulrika
Spacek.
Astrel
K's
debut
single
ÔYou
Could
If
You
CanÕ
was
released
via
Duophonic
Super
45s
-
a
label
which
has
a
history
of
releasing
limited
edition
abstract
releases
from
Stereolab,
Broadcast
&
Yo
La
Tengo.
500
copies
of
the
7Ó
were
made,
hand
stamped
and
numbered,
quickly
selling
out
in
selected
record
shops.
Following
the
loss
of
KEN,
a
shared
house
in
which
Ulrika
Spacek
band
members
lived
and
worked
from,
Edwards
relocated
to
Stockholm,
Sweden
where
he
began
making
music
on
his
own:
ÒAt
this
time,
I
didnÕt
really
know
anyone
in
Stockholm
so
kinda
retreated
into
making
music
just
by
myself.
The
album
title
definitely
reflects
this
period;
I
was
on
my
own
making
music
and
sometimes
nothing
would
be
happening
and
sometimes
there
would
be
little
sparks
of
ideas
that
could
keep
me
goingÓ
Edwards
would
spend
nights
writing
and
recording
in
a
shared
rehearsal
space
producing
music
rich
with
layers
and
texture,
synonymous
with
the
work
of
Ulrika
Spacek
but
with
perhaps
a
greater
focus
on
the
art
of
Ôsong
writingÕ.
Tracks
with
verseÕs
and
chorusÕs
are
surrounded
by
instrumental
interludes;
inspired
by
old
library
music
and
compositions
for
film
as
well
as
being
reminiscent
of
bands
such
as
Broadcast.
The
album
doesnÕt
sound
like
one
made
in
either
London
or
Stockholm,
rather
somewhere
in
the
nether
region.
Written
pre
pandemic
but
mixed
in
the
past
year,
the
music
led
Edwards
to
finding
like
minded
musicians
from
the
Stockholm
music
scene:
ÒThough
IÕm
now
glad
I
can
say
I
wrote
an
album
by
myself,
I
was
definitely
confronted
with
my
own
musical
strengths
and
weaknesses.
Sometimes
when
you
have
an
A/B
decision
you
want
some
perspective
and
youÕd
be
in
the
studio,
turn
around
and
no
one
is
there.
It
really
made
me
curious
to
bring
in
more
people
into
the
fold,
not
to
compromise
any
original
vision
or
anything,
but
to
have
other
energy
in
the
room,
to
exorcise
out
any
lazy
tricks
I
may
fall
intoÓ.
