GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT is an epic post-rock band with definite links to space rock sounds of bands such as Pink Floyd mixed with the heavy layers of Mono. They are known for their beautiful, heavily layered melodies, ambient vocals, and dynamic songs, as well as their extensive use of lights and visuals for their live shows. The band created their own record label, Revive Records, in order to release their first record "The End of the Beginning" in 2002.
The overall sound of GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT has not changed dramatically since the beginning, though their work on "The End of the Beginning" had a ssomewhat more electronic sound than their later works. However, their brand of sprawling, spacey melodies was well in place already at that time. Their second LP, "All is Violent, All is Bright", places more emphasis on guitar layers, and finds a more typical post-rock feel.
