Vinyl LP pressing. Ever since forming 16 years ago, Irish quartet God Is an Astronaut has reigned as one of the premier instrumental groups. With it's fusion of intense rock instrumentation, ethereal and emotional soundscapes, awe-inspiring dynamics and transfixing melodies. Each of their prior releases has offered a breath taking sonic journey, and their ninth emotive opus, Epitaph, is a record that both sees a progression in their sound while still remaining true to their ethos that helped define the band. The cover artwork was painted by French artist Fursy and fits the melancholic mood beautifully. Joined by long-time drummer Lloyd Hanney, contributions also come from Jamie Dean on keys and Xenon Field on sound design.
