Astral Bitch throws down the rock n roll gauntlet. But give their single “How To Breathe “ a second to breathe before it ramps up. The intro is quieter and more meditative, a kind of quiet before the storm. Shades of Kim Gordon doing her rock whisper spokn word thing against the tilt-a-whirl jangle of Sonic Youth-style string picking. And then the distorted guitars kick into gear and it’s Joan Jett howling at the moon all the way home.
