After wowing us with his Super Melodic Pulp EP last year, Anthony Ferraro, aka Astronauts, etc. is back with some new, icy cool material in hand in the form of "Coldboy". His mellow, ultra-smooth vocals are accompanied by a groovy, underlying bass, bits of glimmering synth and other lovely, but subtle effects. Even as he sings a line like, "You're gonna lose your soul" over and over, it sounds so lush you nearly forget how dark a statement it actually is.
Die müsst ihr diese Woche gesehen und gehört haben. Daughter - Lifeforms 2012 haben die Londoner Daughter mit ihrer EP "The Wild Youth" für Furore gesorgt. Emotionale aufs Wesentliche reduzierte Indie-Pop-Hymnen irgendwo zwischen The xx und Beach House. Nun ist ihr Debüt-Album "If You Leave" auf 4AD erschienen. Der erste Höreindruck überzeugt. Songs wie "Winter" oder "Lifeforms" haben Grower-Potential. Am 17. April ist das Trio mit dem Neuenburger Igor Häfeli in ihren Reihen im Zürcher Mascotte zu Gast. Eigentlich [...]

At a certain point, you have to figure that Astronauts, Etc. will have to put out a bad track. Dude is hitting shots like he's Jordan with the game on the line. It's pretty amazing. I could understand if you weren't impressed...except for the fact that almost every track of Anthony Ferraro's is quite a different beast. He hasn't remained caged within one sound. He experiments, he progresses. "Coldboy" is R&B flavored Astronauts, Etc - just a nice chill jam to throw on with the fireplace going or late at night on a lonesome drive home. [...]
This new track from Astronauts, etc. perfectly encapsulates everything I'm currently feeling, and I'm not even creeped out. (Oh, and I guess in my case I'm a Coldgirl.) Look out for a full-length LP release in August. posted by @clarkbs
Not too long ago we were collectively wooed by Astronauts etc, and his mix of delicate synths and longing falsetto. In fact, we described past single 'Sideswiped' as " A blissed-out, sepia-toned slice of modern RnB ", dubbing him as one to watch. Since then the 22 year old student/laptop beat connoisseur has announced a debut album (due out in August) that will be made up of completely new tracks (a bold move). However, to tide us over for now, Anthony Ferraro has put up one of the tracks that will not be appearing on his LP as [...]
The new single from Astronauts, etc is called "Coldboy." It is a hypnotic upbeat foray into the world of electronic pop. It is what would happen if MGMT and Passion Pit decided to put on a dance part smack dab in the middle of a terrible blizzard. During "Coldboy", Astonauts, etc's last single before the release of his LP in August (which will be all brand new tracks), the electro artist suggests that a perfect pairing would be something that falls "..in between each piece of bread, catch my breath. " We need a [...]
Hot on the heels of his completely addictive previous offering, Sideswiped ( here ), the marvelous Astronauts, etc. has released another brand new track ahead of his debut LP. Coldboy is the last in a run of singles that precede the albums release and is a slightly breezier affair than Sideswiped , however the MGMT -ish, hazy synths don't completely overshadow his downbeat, yearning falsetto croon. Everything is now set for an album that promises very much indeed. It will feature a set of completely brand new songs and you [...]

![ASTRONAUTS, ETC. IS ON HIS WAY UP [PREMIERE]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4828272_lg.jpg)
Last year, Astronauts, etc. released one of my favorite EPs of 2012. The atmospheric nature of each song on Supermelodic Pulp creates a refreshingly uncommon listening experience. Today, The Wild Honey Pie has the great pleasure of premiering Astronauts, etc.’s latest release, “Coldboy.” Anthony Ferraro’s delicate falsetto is again put on display, and the song hooks you as it builds. It’s an infectious space jam you'll have on replay. Stream the song above, click here for a free download, and stay tuned for an LP [...]
Before I wrote my Best of 2012 list, Berkeley's Anthony Ferraro told me his solo project, Astronauts, etc. was on a temporary hiatus. Luckily for us, the hiatus didn't last long. Ferraro released a handful of tracks over the past month, including covers of Youth Lagoon and KING on his SoundCloud page . His most recent single, "Sideswiped", came along with yet another outstanding space themed video from Ben Smith , who also created all three previous Astronauts, etc. videos. Ferraro's strength as a composer really shines through [...]

Hace unos meses os presentábamos a Astronauts,etc, el proyecto musical de Antoni Ferraro, que nos cautivó por su música y su historia de superación personal y ahora lo vuelve hacer con "Sideswiped" , otro precioso y emocionante tema.
Picking up right where it left off with the sweeping, six-month-old debut Supermelodic Pulp , Astronauts, etc. , the single-man project by Berkeley student Anthony Ferraro, continue its efforts in keeping our ears padded with breathtaking bedroom pop-hazed epics on newest joint "Sideswiped". Line "All alone with a big wide canvas/ Paralyzed by the fear of progress" definitely strikes at the core of the track's lost in life lyrical self-portrait, but "Sideswiped" mostly captivates in how Ferraro brings this penned snippet to life within the track's production, whether in the way his somber vocal is blurred [...]
Plant City, Florida, which is about 30 minutes outside of Tampa, is the winter strawberry capital of the world. The town begins pumping out berries in late January/early February and continues doing so until sometime in March. The high point of the season is celebrated with a festival that features music, games and the best strawberry shortcake around. In a normal year J-Fur and I will eat a few flats of berries together. This year she decided she was going to take part in the adopt-a-migrant farmer program and so she ate flat after flat all on her own . [...]
Nueva canción de Astronauts, etc.: "Sideswiped" Anthony Ferraro , el cerebro detrás de Astronauts, etc. surgió a finales del año pasado con el tema " Mystery Colors ", que congregó contundentemente en su EP Supermelodic Pulp . A principios de este año, Ferraro reveló " Charity ", una nueva pieza que logra llevar su sonido a un nivel sorprendente, a un lugar bien definido. De hecho, él mismo admitió que "esta es la [...]
Sideswiped es el nuevo single de Astronauts, etc., el sobrenombre tras el que trabaja el músico Anthony Ferraro. Segunda grabación de este estudiante de Berkeley de 22 años después de la buena acogida obtenida con el ep Supermelodic Pulp , publicado el otoño pasado.
Astronauts, etc. was really one of those surprise emails a few months back and it must of been for a lot of bloggers because it is rare to not see his music posted. The latest to come from the experimental, indie-pop artist is called "Sideswiped," a song that takes you on a mellow journey. Actually, out of all the songs that I listened to as of today, this one and it's mellow keys plus the always haunting vocals have gotten me in a great mood. For some reason Astronauts, etc. is a fitting soundtrack to this cold day. Stream [...]
I don't about the rest of you but here I am dealing with frigid coldness and ridiculous weather slamming the Mid-West and New England. It's pretty miserable at the moment with gloomy clouds and greyness all day. Nothing helps a slow day like music that fits the weather, at least for me. Astronauts, etc. is known for his cathartic indie pop that's soothing to the ears which is most notable in his debut EP Supermelodic Pulp . His latest tune "Sideswiped", spotlights his melodic, easy-listening style. There aren't too many effects that drown out his drawn out [...]
