The Hot Press Newsdesk, 11 Sep 2006

All is go for Wicklow band God Is An Astronaut, with the release of a second album and download-only single plus a tour to support it.

The follow-up to their critically-acclaimed debut The End Of The Beginning is All Is Violent, All Is Bright, in the shops as we speak.

“It’s strange because we wrote the album two years ago, and it’s only just got its release,” says founding member Torsten Kinsella. “But we’re really proud of it and it will be fun to bring the songs into the live environment.”

The experimental/instrumental LP will be supported by dates at the Spring & Airbrake, Belfast (11 October); Cyprus Avenue, Cork (21 October); The Luminaire, London (24 October) and the Temple Bar Music Centre, Dublin (10 November), for which they’re planning to have “even more amazing visuals than normal” according to Kinsella.

The highly generous band are treating fans to a taster of the LP by offering 'Tempus Horizon' as a free download from www.godisanastronaut.com.

Tempus Horizon

Putting up quite the fight for Single Of The Fortnight, ‘Radau’ is a tantalising taster from les Astronaut’s new album. With an atmosphere that builds at its own sweet pace and an eight-armed drummer causing havoc behind a simple guitar riff, GIAN again prove themselves to be at the top of their game. If this doesn’t turn the world onto left-field electro-experimental instrumentals, nothing will. I’m guessing nothing will, though.
