Argonaut & Wasp

Argonaut & Wasp formed over a shared love of house and dance music while living in Burlington, Vermont, amid a thriving jam scene. Since moving to Brooklyn in 2015, the band has drawn inspiration from the city and its many vibrant scenes. Its sound blends the rhythm and energy of house music with cues from jam and funk and the "leave everything on the table" attitude of New York.

The band's debut album, Starlight 99, was written mostly during lockdown, a chance to step back from the grind of touring. The title is about looking up and getting beyond yourself, to see the bigger picture and become part of it. The band wrote 99 songs, and 15 made the record.
