One of the most popular artists on Hype Machine this year, Oakland-based Astronauts, etc, began as a bedroom project for Anthony Ferraro, following years of classical music training. A chance meeting with Chaz Bundick then led to his gig as touring keyboardist for Toro Y Moi. By the time he came to finally record a debut full-length, Astronauts, etc,had formed into a proper five-piece band, laying down these tracks live-to-tape in the pure analog surroundings of SF’s Tiny Telephone studio. Funky, smooth and chilled-out, The 405 says, “it will send you drifting back in time with its warm, vintage sensibilities.”

astronauts, etc. – mind out wandering
september 18th (hit city u.s.a.)
Anthony Ferraro has seen his exploratory outlet into the realm of pop music grow from a solo project to a full-band endeavor. already armed with a quartet of impressive singles, Astronauts, etc. should offer up a strong and nuanced debut full-length with mind out wandering.
Anthony Ferraro’s work as Astronauts, etc. has blossomed into a full-band effort; the Oakland outfit will release their debut album, mind out wandering, on september 18th via hit city usa. we’ve been anticipating this album for the better part of the calendar year, and the band’s prospects only improve with their latest offering, “Shake It Loose.” the track sits squarely on the front of the beat, in contrast to previous spaced-out offerings, and finds astronauts, etc. exercising their knowledge of pop mechanics, but “shake it loose” really flourishes once its melody disappears behind a curtain of psychedelic haze at the half-way mark
