}}ASTR are an American electronic R&B duo consisting of vocalist Zoe Silverman and producer Adam Pallin. Their debut EP, Varsity, was named the twentieth best album of 2014 by Spin.[1] Their second EP, Homecoming, was released in 2015.[2]

History

ASTR formed in 2013 after meeting at a yoga class.[1][2] Producer Adam Pallin was previously one half of Little Jackie alongside Imani Coppola,[3] who had a top-twenty hit with "The World Should Revolve Around Me" in the UK Singles Chart in 2008.[4] Zoe Silverman is the daughter of Tom Silverman, the founder of Tommy Boy Records.[3] In their earliest press coverage, ASTR were described as "mysterious" and left unnamed, and then briefly referred to only as Zoe ASTR and Adam ASTR.[5][6][7] A 2013 interview with The Village Voice revealed their identities, explaining that the duo had not wanted to disclose their real names in order to "distance themselves" from their backgrounds.[8]

Their debut single "Operate" was released through Tommy Boy Records in May 2013, followed by a second single "Razor".[1][6] The duo also played several sets at CMJ Music Marathon in the autumn.[1] ASTR later released a cover of Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home", which was a breakthrough hit on Hype Machine and compared favourably to the original.[5][9][10]

In 2014 ASTR released their debut six-track EP, Varsity, on 21 January via Neon Gold Records.[11] Spin later named it their twentieth best album of 2014.[12] ASTR performed at SXSW for the first time in March 2014,[13] and were praised as an "aural threat" by USA Today in May.[14] ASTR also created a new song, "Hold On Me", exclusively for DJ Annie Mac's blog,[15] and released a remix of Charli XCX's "Boom Clap" in the summer.[16] ASTR were the first act to sign for the new independent record label 300 Entertainment.[17]

ASTR released their second EP, Homecoming, on November 6, 2015.[18] The track "Activate Me" was produced by Darkchild.[19] Silverman described Homecoming as "nostalgia pop" with lyrical themes around "industry sexism".[3] ASTR toured nationally in the month of the release.[20] A remix of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Run Away With Me" was released in the summer of 2015,[21] and a standalone single featuring Mick Jenkins titled "It's Over" was premiered by Billboard in September.[22] ASTR also performed at Governors Ball in June 2015.[23]

ASTR released a new single, "Bleeding Love", in March 2016.[24]
