Astrotourist Tears Down Boundaries on 'Wallz'
A full seven-piece band lays down a loose, vintage-meets-modern funk jam.

Astrotourist, the genre-blurring project from musician and educator Nathaniel Hood, throws out the rulebook on 'Wallz'. Tracked live with a full seven-piece band, the song locks into a buoyant, vintage rhythm section driven by clavichord synth riffs and organic bass lines. Borrowing the playful funk precision of Vulfpeck and the quirky storytelling spirit of Swamp Dogg, it turns the idea of strict musical genres into an open, high-energy jam.
Between the warm band dynamics and creative vocal processing in the bridge, 'Wallz' moves with spontaneous, infectious energy. It hits that sweet spot between classic groove and modern pop without ever feeling forced or over-rehearsed.
