Irish post-rock band, God Is An Astronaut has mesmerized audiences worldwide with their distinctive sonic tapestry both in dynamic live performances and through their recorded works. Amidst their perpetual whirlwind of touring, the Wicklow-based trio emerges once more with a freshly crafted studio album (their 11th!), which debuted on September 6th, 2024, courtesy of Napalm Records!
From psych to excellent krautrock trips, driving rhythms by drummer Lloyd Hanney and collaborations with guest musicians, including Dara O’Brien, Jo Quail and Sean Coleman, further enrich the album’s sonic space incorporating elements such sitar, cello, zither, shamanic drums, bowed psaltery, chimes and tanpura.
Featuring artwork by the internationally renowned Irish artist David Rooney and mastered by Europe’s foremost mastering engineer Streaky, God Is An Astronaut achieves remarkable heights with their latest Progressive, Psychedelic, Instrumental Post-rock opus, “Embers”!
God is An Astronaut are well known globally for their incredible live performances and they’ve influenced many up and coming bands over their 20 year career. They’re coming to Australia this February for their debut tour where they’ll play Melbourne’s Max Watts on Saturday 8th February with support from Sydney instrumental quartet Solkyri and Melbourne shoegaze group Treebeard..
