Astronauts 'In My Direction' - single released 19/1/15. 

One of the highlights from the debut Astronauts album ‘Hollow Ponds’, ‘In My Direction’ is a gorgeous, cascading slice of dark, folky pop, with Dan’s breathy vocal harmonies - and call-and-responses with his friend and collaborator Michael Cranny – floating reassuringly over an intertwining acoustic guitar flow and taut percussive backbone. As with all the best Astronauts material, it’s hooky, emotionally involving, and mildly unsettling, all at once. 

The brilliant video for the song was conceived and made by Armenia-based production company Manana Films, after they approached Dan about collaboration earlier this year. The result is an idiosyncratic, unforgettable video starring Armenian actor Andranik Lavchyan rhythmically wending his way around the capital Yerevan, confusing everyone he encounters. 

‘In My Direction’ is backed with a remix of the ‘Hollow Ponds’ track ‘Everything’s A System, Everything’s A Sign’ from Kieran Mahon, a minimal/ambient composer and long-time friend of Dan’s, who creeps up silently behind the original and injects it with a swirling, insistent menace.

It's Halloween, and since we aren't a certain American shithead who makes tricks with bricks, we're back with a treat! It's been just over a year since we went From the Bedroom to Oblivion, and now we're ready to explore new uncharted territory (because let's face it... none of our songs will be charting ANYWHERE).

We're hard at work on a new album, and to prove it, we are pleased to unveil MY COW PAY COW POO.

Preparing for re-entry is SO 2015, so this time...

Prepare to accelerate to escape velocity!
