Album Review: God Is An Astronaut, The Beginning Of The End
Here’s to new beginnings
Acclaimed Co. Wicklow-bred post rockers God Is An Astronaut celebrate the 20th birthday of their game changing debut album The End Of The Beginning in style, with this arresting re-imagining.
Recorded live last autumn in Dublin’s Windmill Lane and wrapped in a stunning new sleeve courtesy of David Rooney, The Beginning… breathes fresh new life into classic cuts. Heavier and loaded with powerful and expressive playing, it’s a denser and more dramatic listen compared to the original.
Tunes like ‘Coda’ really shine thanks to new technology, and a lifetime’s worth of experience spent slaying festival stages around the world, and help make this a must-have for completists.
