David Wrench and Evangeline Ling – aka audiobooks – threw absolutely everything at their 2018 debut album, Now! (in a minute), a hectic, head-spinning blast of freewheeling freak-pop genius. On its follow-up, Astro Tough, released 1st October 2021 via Heavenly Recordings, they’ve somehow found a way to ramp things up even further, concentrating their chaotic energy and inherent weirdness into a record that’s bigger, deeper and more powerful than even its predecessor.

2021 Album Quotes
“If Wrench’s masterful production is the expertly-made canvas it’s [Ling’s] storytelling which gives the record its colour, and combined they make a brilliant piece of art” Loud & Quiet front cover print feature, interview and review 8/10

“Abnormal and mystifying, audiobooks amplify bewilderment on a remarkable second album.” Clash 8/10

“Weird, wonderful, hypnotic and catchy with a few dancefloor bangers that will surely make them clubland hotshots in the ever so near future”
Louder Than War 9/10

“This is thrilling, possibly visionary pop” Uncut 8/10

“a head stream of witty one-liners and excellent music” The Line of Best Fit 7/10
