God Is An Astronaut

**just an illusion** · 01-13-2008, 07:22 AM

God Is an Astronaut are an instrumental three piece hailing from the Glen of the Downs, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. They formed in 2002 and released their debut album The End of the Beginning (2002) on their own Revive Records label. Their two music videos for The End of the Beginning and From Dust to the Beyond, received airplay on MTV UK and on other MTV European networks.

All Is Violent, All Is Bright (2005) is the band's second album. The album features their build ups from serene ambience to searing intensity and is a closer representation of their live sound. The single Fragile from the album has also received plays on MTV2 UK's 120 minute show and MTV's "The Comedown" show.
God Is an Astronaut released an EP called A Moment of Stillness in 2006.
Their third album, Far from Refuge, was released in April 2007 on Revive Records and as a download via their website.

They are incredibly awesome. I've never been a fan of post-rock, but I fell in love with this band immediately. Pity, I had no idea they existed when they played a show in Moscow in July. Can't stop listening to them. <3

With a name like this, I'd have to check them out! Plus, they are Irish, which can't be a bad thing.

Luithium · 01-13-2008, 08:40 PM

Yeah, the name sounds interesting and I like post-rock. I'll check them out sometime.

Yeah, it's always their name that attracts attention to the band. That's why they've chosen this one. Actually, it's a quote from some movie.

I'd recommend you to listen to their first album. It's my fave one, though it's more electronic/ambient than post-rock. Anyways, it's awesome. <3

Tell me if you liked them.

Thanks for revealing them for me. They're really awesome. ^ ^

Luithium · 01-29-2008, 11:03 PM

Wow, I owe you big time O_O

They're awesome, I got Far From Refuge and All Is Violent, All Is Bright as well as their EP and I'm loving all of them *-*
I still need to get The End of the Beginning but it's being a little harder to find

If it's musical and not Evanescence, this is the place to talk about it.
