God Is An Astronaut
Epitaph

Listening notes

God Is An Astronaut released Epitaph in 2018 through Napalm Records, catalogued as NPR 778 VINYL. The Irish post-rock band's album arrives on vinyl in a format that suits the genre's characteristic expansiveness, though the available documentation does not extend to details about pressing specifications or variant editions.

The record follows a standard two-sided layout across seven tracks. The A-side opens with the title track before moving through "Mortal Coil" and the two-part "Winter Dusk / Awakening." The B-side carries four tracks: "Seance Room," "Komorebi," "Medea," and "Oisín." Track durations are not available in the current documentation and should be verified before publication.

The titles themselves are worth noting for any collector building contextual understanding of the release. "Epitaph" as an album title carries obvious thematic weight, and several track names — "Mortal Coil," "Seance Room," "Medea" — suggest a thematic preoccupation with mortality and mythology that recurs in the band's broader catalog. "Komorebi," a Japanese term describing sunlight filtering through leaves, and "Oisín," drawn from Irish mythology, round out a tracklist that moves between cultural references without any single unifying language. Whether these titles reflect the lyrical or purely instrumental content of the tracks is not confirmed here and should not be assumed.

Napalm Records, the Austrian label that issued this release, works extensively with metal and hard rock artists, though its roster has included post-rock acts. The pairing of God Is An Astronaut with Napalm is verifiable from this release's documentation but no further detail about the label relationship is available here.

This draft requires fact-checker review for track durations, pressing details, and any personnel credits before publication.
