“Doorposts” is an insanely fun jangly rock-and-roll track from Chicago-based musician Astrachan. It’s the kind of tune that makes you want to throw down a blanket and have a picnic in the sun, or hop in the car to embark on a roadtrip with friends. Astrachan is a solo effort fronted by Ben Astrachan, who fuses folk with “stomp and shout” indie. Recorded in an analog bedroom-style studio in his basement, the authenticity shines through the warmth of the track’s lo-fi production. It feels handcrafted, capturing a snapshot of joy and sincerity that’s always sought after in today’s indie landscape. Just in time to get on the tail-end of your summer of 2025 playlist, “Doorposts” is a song that will have you singing along by the second chorus and drumming on the steering wheel with reckless abandon.
“Doorposts” is released ahead of Astrachan’s upcoming album, Signs, out October 31st, 2025 via Happen Twice.
