Founded by brothers Torsten and Niels Kinsella, the trio has once again created an exceptional collection of songs, inviting listeners to explore and interpret it in their own unique ways. 'Embers' represents God Is An Astronaut's most extensive and grandiose production to date. From the very first note to the lingering resonance of its finale, 'Embers' quietly but confidently affirms the mastery of their craft: From psych- to excellent krautrock trips, driving rhythms by drummer Lloyd Hanney and collaborations with guest musicians including Dara O'Brien, Jo Quail, and Sean Coleman further enrich the album's sonic space, incorporating elements such sitar, cello, zither, shamanic drums, bowed psaltery, chimes and tanpura.

Featuring artwork by the internationally renowned Irish artist David Rooney and mastered by Europe's foremost mastering engineer Streaky, with their forthcoming progressive, psychedelic, and instrumental post-rock opus God Is An Astronaut will achieve remarkable heights!
