"The one....the only....Ã…sA"

About Me

Ã…sA are an Electro groove outfit with Va va Voom and attitude. Based in Edinburgh Scotland the Band take their name (pronounced Orsa) from their lead singer Ã…sa Seljestad who is of Norwegian/Welsh descent."From its' opening bars. On/Off is a beautifully constructed and thoughtfully prepared album. Seljestad's Ciccone-esque vocals coupled with Croan's imaginative, skilfully, multi-layed electronic sound-scapes; work together with an exquisiteness that you cannot fail to notice. They compliment each other with an almost innate understanding".Seljestad has a breathy vocal style that melds jazz and a more familiar electronic diva styling. Think Beth Gibbons, Alison Goldfrapp with a bit more reserve, or even Kate Bush on a quiet day. Musically, songs like 'Traditional Arms', the drum and bass driven 'This Machine' and the somnambulant 'Feel Alone' are damn polished......it's clearly a lovingly created package, placing Ã…sA alongside the likes of Zero 7 or Lamb".......
