• Astaron

    Location: Vienna, Austria
    Active: 1985-1988

    Using synthesizers to create dark rhythms, the female duo of Angie Mörth (Viele Bunte Autos) and Martina Aichhorn arose from the mid 1980s in Vienna. Along the lines of the darkwave sounds coming out of France and Belgium at the time, their work included a visual and performance art element which can be seen in their film for the song ‘It’. The contrasting vocals sets the band apart from peers like Xmal Deutschland or Collection D’Arnell-Andrea, Clair Obscur. They released only one full length album in 1987, reissued in 2020.
