Young Astronaut - The Room Beneath My Skin

Taken from our forthcoming record 'A Gold Frontier'

Chasing El Dorado

Oh my look at you,
Shot down fairytale, here comes the blues,
Sometimes it don’t work out as it should do,
So goodbye daisy chains, wrestle the new

Lace reigns whip the brain,
Super speed, recalibrate,
Hyperdrive, you cut the brakes,
Perhaps I over contemplate?
Empty? Capitalise - human bond, Jesus Christ,
Bleach my art, a reason why,
The chronicles of fall and glory

Oh my look at you,
Sorrow, blurry eyed out of the blue,

Kiss me, resurrect - it’s amazing what you can compress,
The lion always does its best but in the end his heart ain’t infinite,
Forgiveness not giving in,
Compulsion is a funny thing when the magnetic poles are opposing,
The chronicles of fall and glory

Arrest the girl on the porch,
She struggled, she fought to my grand throne,
In red, an alternate verse,
She scribbled the words ‘let’s fix the curse’

Oh my look at you,
Painting lipstick over the blue,
Stitch the fray let’s cooperate,
So hello daisy chains made our way

The Chronicles Of Fall & Glory (Radio Edit)

This is an ode to the village Pete and Chris grew up in (it’s named after it in fact). It’s about growing up and moving away from your home but how that time impacts whatever we do and stays with us wherever we go. It aims to portray this by painting a picture of the landscape of the New Forest. It’s esoteric in some places but hopefully relatable as a whole.

A Gold Frontier

King Of The Animals

Emerging from roots in the New Forest and born from brotherly alliance, Young Astronaut are a diverse indie outfit that can demonstrate stark soundscapes to storming percussion and mesmerising guitars.

The bands debut offering ‘Fawn’ was released in early 2012, featuring prominent folk/acoustic stylings and melodic poise. With a growing following and after earning acclaim from numerous music blogs, the albums first single ‘Hey Little Ghost’ earned the band national radio play on BBC 6Music and subsequently was promoted to the BBC introducing podcast.

Four years later and they return with a new record. Recorded over a two year period and produced by grammy nominated engineer Geoff Swan (White Lies, Haim) the album achieves a more absolute, refined sound. Exploring exposed grand pianos, introspective, often cryptic lyrics and demonstrating a punchier electric tone more akin to the likes of Modest Mouse. It promises to be an ambitious and defining record for Young Astronaut.
