With two full-lengths under his belt, Astronautalis has been busy crafting his careful balance between hip-hop, country, and American indie rock. Hand picking members from The Polyphonic Spree, Midlake, and The Paperchase, he composed this indescribably diverse album under the guidance of Grammy nominated producer and engineer John Congleton (Explosions In The Sky, The Polyphonic Spree, Modest Mouse). Pomegranate plays out like a collection of short stories, each song as varied in style and sound as they are in subject and character. Astronautalis's pop sensibility manages to weave catchy melodic strains that'll haunt you for days.
