Astrobrite is the long-running shoegaze project founded by Scott Cortez, best known for his work with lovesliescrushing. Emerging in the mid-1990s, Astrobrite became known for its dense, luminous soundscapes that blend layers of distorted guitars, ethereal vocals, and shimmering noise. With releases like *Crush*, *Pinkshinyultrablast*, and *All the Stars Will Fall*, Cortez has shaped Astrobrite into a key name in the second wave of shoegaze, influencing a generation of artists drawn to the balance between melody and chaos.
