With “Miss Ohio”, San Francisco duo Late Aster reimagine Gillian Welch’s folk classic as a spectral electronic meditation, like a transformation that feels both reverent and radical. The track, part of their debut full-length City Livin’ (out via Slow & Steady), drifts through a dreamlike terrain where the warmth of acoustic memory collides with the cool pulse of circuitry. Anni Hochhalter and Miles Wick stretch Welch’s Americana roots into an abstract skyline of synths, brass, and fractured rhythm, preserving the song’s wistful defiance while dissolving it into vapor.
