Rising beautifully from the ashes of London’s indie rock outfit Dark Captain Light Captain, Astronauts is the ambient resurgence of lead singer, Dan Carney. “In My Direction”, his latest single, constructs a blissful atmosphere of bass drum, tinkling piano, acoustic guitars and a variety of electronics that swell with an inviting repetition. Carney’s mellow vocals aided by a backing harmonization guide your ears through the swirling landscape of gentle sounds with a hint of psychedelic undercurrent. “In My Direction” is just a taste of the beautiful collection of songs that make up Astronauts’ debut album, Hollow Ponds. Written while recovering from a broken leg in a hospital bed with a view of the forest, the album weaves equally hopeful and pensive tones with stringed instruments and soft melodies to create a nearly tangible mural of sound.
