Per Aspera Ad Astra

A 2 track funk single (6m 29s) — released August 12th 2022 on Delights 45

Four years after their first 45, Group Modular returns to Delights with a new synth-heavy double-sider.

Just like the last year's single "The Tunnel", the new release is following the path taken on the duo's highly-acclaimed second full-length, "Time Masters" - with both sides based on more material from the album's initial drum sessions. However, don't call them 'outtakes' or 'leftovers', as these are brand new tracks that see Markey Funk and Mule Driver exploring and expanding their sonic palette even further.

The new 7'' also concludes 10 years of the band's drum-centric sci-fi sound: the bass-heavy and spiky "Per Aspera" ("Through Hardships") features Elia Yakin on the kit, while spacy and dramatic "Ad Astra" ("To the Stars") welcomes the duo's long-time collaborator - Sagi Sachs.
