Artist Info: Ostia

Ostia are a long-standing Australian ethereal band whose music is beautiful and atmospheric, filled with rich guitar textures, chiming melodies and serene vocals. The band is often compared by critics with such bands as Cocteau Twins, Lush, Cranes, Slowdive and Love Spirals Downwards. Comprised of Kylie (vocals), Amps (bass), and Justin (guitars, keyboards, programming), they initially disbanded in 1997, following the release of their album From The Aether. In 2005, they reunited to work on a belated follow-up EP. [read more...]
