Astronauts, etc., 'I Know'


Info: If there was some way of putting music in a future date diary, 'I Know' would be immediately slotted into the calendar for the first hazy summer evening of the year. Astronauts, etc. are from Oakland, California and are the new musical project of Toro Y Moi keyboardist Anthony Ferraro. Self-described as somewhere in between Grizzly Bear, The Bee Gees and Sade, I can see where they are coming from with the intro guitars and harmonies. The later guitar solo at the opening of the track is such a nice lazy blues riff and the gentle percussion throughout combined with acoustic guitar are deep down mellow. Images of falling in slow motion from the clouds and landing on a giant ball of cotton wool abound and are enough to create a desire to hear more offerings from Astronauts, etc.
