Wicklow s God Is An Astronaut have just released their 10th album,
Ghost Tapes #10 - guaranteed to feature on the end-of-year lists. Guitarist Torsten Kinsella tells Harry Guerin about the past, present and future.
Harry Guerin: Congratulations on reaching the landmark of 10 studio albums. How do you feel as you look back?
Torsten Kinsella. Thank you. We are proud of what we have achieved - staying relevant in the music industry is not an easy feat. When we began in 2002, we had no idea we would be putting albums out 19 years later. We are excited for
Ghost Tapes #10 to be heard; we have reimagined our sound but still kept it true to our identity. I feel it is our most live, intense album to date.
I can remember being inspired by Pink Floyd s performance
Live at Pompeii. This album is more about the musicianship and less about the electronic soundscapes. Tempus Horizon is a great introduction to the album.

God Is an Astronaut (2008)
The self-titled record was written during a time with lots of touring. While we still had songs like First Day of Sun, which captured a dream of a different life, a different path, but the song Echoes best represents what the band sounded like live while still retaining the melancholic melodies of the other albums.
