Head over to Astronautalis' Myspace page to hear a brand spankin' new track from forthcoming album Pomegranate, recorded rightchear in Dallas. It's coming out Sept. 23. "The Wondersmith and His Son" features the piano-playing of Sean Kirkpatrick and the cello work of Kris Youmans.
Sez Astro's new label, Eyeball Records, in a recent release: "On Pomegranate, Astronatalis, AKA Andy Bothwell, has weaved rich narratives alongside musical textures which call Tom Waits, Pharrell Williams, Beck, DJ Shadow, The Decemberists, and Hunter S. Thompson to a tea party on the evening of the Apocalypse."
Wow, that's some interesting imagery. But the insight into this guy's influences is pretty right-on. There's really no one like him in hip-hop or any other genre.
P.S.: I stumbled on the news of the Astronautalis track while reading a bulletin from Kirkpatrick, who has also posted a new track ("Falling Out of Sync With Time") online. All this sharing warms the heart.
