What the label says:

Trance-inducing, post-rock instrumental trio GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT has announced a European and its second US tour in support of its forthcoming self-titled album, "God Is An Astronaut".  The tour will kick off on December 4th in San Diego, USA.   Hailing from Glen of the Downs, Ireland, GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT formed in 2002 and have already released 3 albums and one EP.  GIAA’s storied live performances have the unique ability to effortlessly ascend / transcend at any given moment, reaching bold crescendos of both of dim shimmer and blinding incandescence.  The band make use of projected, self-edited video footage along with impressive lighting arrangements to form what it calls, a "full audio visual show", with each song accompanied by its own video.  GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT’s marriage of raw power and delicate beauty has drawn comparisons to the works of like-minded indie acts Explosions in the Sky and Mogwai.
The band have performed all over the world including sell out shows in Boston, New York, London, Dublin and Moscow.  The upcoming GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT live performances are listed in the Track Listing column.  Updated GIAA news and tour information will be made available via the GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT web domains:   “beauty and menace… fantastically broad and lush soundscapes… it's like watching a thunderhead slowly approach from the distance; dark, towering and fat with tension.” – DROWNED IN SOUND         “On Far from Refuge, their third full-length, GIaA ventures even further into the outer realms, streamlining their sound as if to make it sleeker for the demands of deep space flight.  A simultaneously gentle and enthralling adventure upon a star-strewn stage.”  - DECOY MUSIC         "A highlight of the day for sure, their big sound should have no problem filling the tiny Knitting Factory tap bar which is where they'll finish their U.S. tour in NYC tonight" - SXSW Review - brooklynvegan.com
“From start to finish this second album glows with unique focused intensity.” ****  Chris Roberts - UNCUT
