Today Waking Astronomer unveils itself to the world with an excellent soundtrack for a rainy winter day in Atlanta called “Stalactite.”

An experimental super group of sorts, Waking Astronomer finds Alexa Lima, Jeremi Johnson (10th Letter), Brett Leggitt (Deku), Afua Richardson, and Saira Raza melding an instrumental palette of piano, flute, cello, vibraphone, bass, and subtle beats with cool, subterranean samples for a slowly burning hybrid of soulful, jazz, and electronic music textures.

Waking Astronomer makes its live debut at the Left Field Experiment at 529 on Thurs., Dec. 19, with AF THE NAYSAYER, JP Villa, Prime8 Pimpin, and DJ sets from Divine Interface, the Morkestra, and Knumbskull. $5-$7. 9 p.m. 529 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-228-6769.
