EIN ASTRONAUT

GALAXY (2012) is the third studio album containing 13 songs. There's a music video for each of them, mostly showing the actual recording sessions. It's been available on limited editions of handmade CDs and DVDs (sold out). You can still get it on audio cassette.

01 BE AGAIN

This song came out of a kinda dark mood and deals with not being honest to yourself and others.

02 COME ON, SAY

Originally written as part of a movie score it felt unfinished. So it was turned into a complete song.

03 HEAD SPINNING

Some questions about the meaning of life turned into a rock song. The video contains additional footage that was shot for a theatre performance called "Kongress der Planetenvereinigung".

04 WHAT PEOPLE

Thoughts about people we randomly meet on the streets. Experiments with a monome. The video contains footage of a travel to London during EIN ASTRONAUT's YouTube NextUp camp stay.

05 NEXT UP

Dealing with the fact that EIN ASTRONAUT has been one of the YouTube NextUp 2011 winners.

06 BIRDCAGE

A collaborative song that was created during the YouTube NextUp camp in a film studio in London. It features appearences of Faireset, Mysteryguitarman, Djamila, iJustine and Rush Smith.

07 ALL WE NEED

A little love might change the way we experience the world. The video contains additional footage shot in the YouTube NextUp film studio in London.

08 CODY

Cody Weber wrote a poem about a women that couldn't fall asleep anymore. Ein Astronaut picked up the intimite vibe of this writing and turned it into a song.

09 AUTUMN MOON

Questions about breaking up a relationship. The video contains extra footage of a family trip in nature during autumn.

10 B-SIDE

Like a b-side to Autumn Moon, it deals with a person who wants to leave someone but then decides not to. The video shows a boy riding on a scooter through an autumn forest.

11 SPIDERS

This song originally started as a collaboration which didn't work out because the composing partner run out of time. Some of the frustration about this fact might has turned into the song's basic vibe. Things don't always go the way we want :-)

12 LULLABY MY MY

Missing loved ones and waiting for them to return sometimes can feel like endless winter. A collaboration with Djamila.

13 WE QUIT

Another song about breaking up. A Kraut Rock experiment that closes the album.
