Andrew Schneider - Astonish Me (Andrew Schneider Records)
#Music #MusicSky #MusicReviews #IndieMusic

#AstonishMe is out now! Spent most of 2025 working on this song. It's about power and decadence, taking inspiration from #Bowie, #Pulp, and #DepecheMode. (My grandmother described it as "Andrew dear, a little dark".)

First peek at #AstonishMe - out January 9th. This is definitely the most ambitious song I've ever recorded, and I can't wait for all of you to hear it.

#PleasantThoughts is now available! A new take on one of my first original songs from way back in 2007. Lots of inspiration from Elvis Costello's Blood and Chocolate, both in its late New Wave/early Alternative sound and its exploration of loss and longing.

#FemmeFatale is available to stream
now, celebrating classic noir tropes with
mid-century bluegrass and jazz flair. I recorded a
demo of this track way back in 2012 as one of my
earliest home recordings. No MIDI trumpets or drums
this time!

Link in bio if you want to listen! #newmusic

Took some time to refresh my Indie Discoveries playlist before #FemmeFatale releases tomorrow! These are some of the best underground artists I've discovered while working on my own music, and nearly all of them have fewer than 5,000 monthly listeners. Come find a new favorite! #IndieMusic

More new music coming soon! Femme Fatale releases two weeks from today (January 10th).

I originally wrote this song way back in 2012! It's an Indie Rock track with a heavy mid-century Bluegrass and Swing-influenced ensemble of guitars, bass, and drums.
