Symphonauts are a genre-defying collective of sonic voyagers, fusing glam rock swagger, soulful grit, electronic textures, and art rock ambition into a symphonic, theatrical experience. Formed in Brooklyn in 2019, the band quickly carved out a cult following with their electrifying live shows—equal parts opera, funk revival, and cosmic jams.

At the heart of Symphonauts is a rotating ensemble of multi-instrumentalists, vocalists, and composers, anchored by co-leads Jennifer Rae and Mike Orion, whose voices intertwine like gospel and glam in orbit. Their sound is built on stacked harmonies from a full choir, analog synths, distorted strings, and orchestral strings, all pulsing beneath grooves that nod to Parliament-Funkadelic, Bowie’s Berlin era, and the maximalist spirit of early 2000s art rock.


Newborn Voyagers

Lyrics:

Verse
Another blind soul asking for direction
This dead end street
It's paved with good intentions
It's not too late to change your course of action
Better do it soon
'Cause you're headin' for a crashin'
I can't be the one to save you

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors

Verse 2
When you look in the mirror
What do you see?
Do you see a hero? Or do you see a freak?
Well
I don't have time to make you understand
Go ahead and cry
Child
It's not my problem
No one gives a damn if you cry

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors

Bridge
No one gives a damn if you cry
I can't be the one to save you

Chorus
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors
I ain't here to do favors

You Better Run

Liam Gallagher
