FORGOTTEN ASTRONAUTS

Formed in 2015, Forgotten Astronauts are a post rock/electronica duo. Originally from Brisbane, Australia they are now based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Formed after a chance encounter at a late night screening of Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange, Forgotten Astronauts immediately bonded over a mutual love of Italian movie soundtracks, German Prog Rock and vintage guitars. Moving to London in late 2915 Forgotten Astronauts set out writing their eponymously titled debut album. Refusing to take the cliched path of becoming a touring band they locked themselves in a squalid bed sit until they perfected their guitar/keyboard harmonic dissonance. Taking inspiration from Mogwai, North Atlantic Oscillation and Boards Of Canada, they eventually headed north and set up their own home studio in the Portobello district of Edinburgh.

Finding little appetite from numerous record labels for their off kilter sound they set up their own label, Nephronica International, to release their 9 song debut album. Eventually released in February 2018, the album is a digital only release but, due to overwhelming demand, a physical release is planned for Autumn 2018.
