ABOUT AYUMI & THE SPACEMEN

The experimental and improvisational band consists of Ayumi Ishito (Saxophone), Theo Woodward (Synthesizer, Vocals), Nebula and the Velvet Queen (Theremin), Jake Strauss (Guitar, Bass), and Steven Bartishev (Drums).  

The Spacemen is full of distortion, unexpected percussive rhythms, and competing melodies. Their debut album’s six tracks are exploratory and driven largely by cohesive solo performances, even when played in tandem. When combined, their sound is futuristic and cosmic, incorporating elements of improvisational jazz, scintillating electronica, and fluctuating vocals that make it disorienting, mesmerizing, and otherworldly.
