Irish post-rock quartet God Is An Astronaut have announced they will release their brand new studio album Embers through Napalm Records on September 6. The trio have also shared their brand new single Falling Leaves, which you can listen to below.

The new album sees the band mixing psych and krautrock with their expected post-rock atmospherics with bothers Torsten and Niels Kinsella and drummer Lloyd Hanney joined by guest musicians including Dara O'Brien, Jo Quail and Sean Coleman.

The band have also announced the first batch of European tour dates, which you can see below. Further dates will be added.

Embers will be available as a double vinyl album with various different coloured double vinyl options, a six-page digipack CD and a music cassette, black with gold print. The album features artwork by the internationally renowned Irish artist David Rooney, which you can see below.
