San Francisco experimental electronic duo Late Aster share “Ctrl-F Discipline”, a striking new single from their debut full-length album ‘City Livin’, out now. Inspired by the four-track limitations of the TASCAM Portastudio 414 MKII, the song leans into restraint as a creative engine, opening with a familiar synth tone before settling into a hypnotic blend of fuzz, pulse, and repetition.
Across ‘City Livin’, Late Aster pull sounds from lo-fi ambient, hip hop, and electronic minimalism, filtering brass instruments through layers of pedals to shape a vivid, tactile world. The album feels immersive and intentional, full of small details that reward close listening. “Ctrl-F Discipline” stands out as a focused, confident moment that highlights the duo’s inventive personality and makes the record an especially satisfying listen.
