While the album is certainly the most ferocious GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT full-length to date, it still retains all of the rich musical and emotive elements the band is known for by maneuvering around luminescence whilst offering harsh, deep reflections as well. Works of art like “Burial”, “In Flux” or “Barren Trees”, with additional guitars by Jimmy Scanlan, amongst others, are proof of these sonic illustrations. The album closer, atmospheric “Luminous Waves”, transports the listener into a trance-like mindset – captivating them with a meditative, deep connection to their inner self and as they drift away to stirring tunes of guest cello virtuoso Jo Quail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album’s detailed artwork was created by David Rooney (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.davidrooney.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\"\u003ewww.davidrooney.com\u003c\/a\u003e), recognized for his work with band in the past, and plays into the sense of foreboding and uncertain times we live in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Den of Wax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48883503169688,"sku":null,"price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/8689\/0392\/files\/a1445989498_1x1_700.avif?v=1776472655","url":"https:\/\/www.denofwax.com\/products\/god-is-an-astronaut-ghost-tapes-10","provider":"Den of Wax","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
