Irish post-rock band God Is An Astronaut will play their first-ever show in the city this week as part of a three-show India tour, put together by Bohemian Entertainment. Best known for sprawling, yet carefully constructed instrumental rock that delves on ambience, guitar noise, explosive drum work and more, God Is An Astronaut are likely to perform songs such as ‘Echoes’, ‘Forever Lost’ and ‘All Is Violent, All Is Bright’.
The band will invite special guests in Indian act Aswekeepsearching to join them in Bengaluru. Presently working on a new album, the concert promises to showcase post-rock in all its epic grandiosity and tenderness in equal measure.
God Is An Astronaut, for their part, are arriving in India on their Reverse World Tour just as they have wrapped up their new album. The band said on Instagram, “Expect to hear new music in June, the album comes out in early September. We will reveal the title, artwork, tracklist etc... over the next few weeks but we can confirm this is our longest release yet.”
