Band Websitewww.modelcitizens.org
Band Membersastronautalis is andy bothwell...he writes all the lyrics and lots of the music. He also gets lots of help from these bands and musicians: the paper chase, midlake, the polyphonic spree, radical face, sarah jaffe, dj rerog, skyrider, and electric president!








InfluencesThe myth of Persephone, The steady hand of the conman, The life of Henry Rathbone, The bottom of the sea floor, The support of your family, The British occupation of Shanghai, The gossip around the office, The audacity of wildlife, The trial of William Robertson Smith, The art of the Blacksmith, The Battle of Trenton, and the story of your life.



“Just as the Rhymesayers and Anticon collectives persuaded adventurous rock fans to explore hip-hop, Astronautalis may just turn a few rap fans on to the sounds of American Gothic."
-NPR.org

""
-Seattle Sound Magazine

"we absolutely love it!"
94%
-AbsolutePunk.com

“I wish all records were this exciting."
-The Portland Mercury

"Going from battle rapping to the Battle of Trenton isn't the most obvious hip-hop career path, but the results on Pomegranate are amazing!"
-The Dallas Observer

"this album is a complete masterpiece"
-HighBeamReview.com

"Astro's killin' it here!"
-The Seattle Stranger

"his languorous baritone and adventurous songwriting make Astronautalis a refreshing and unexpected treat."
-Death + Taxes

“Taking us from the life of a desperate conman, to a pre-Ian Fleming tale of an espionage during the Opium Wars, then to the heresy trial of William Robertson Smith, to Washington on the Delaware…if Thomas Pynchon picked up mic at Scribble Jam, he might sound like Astro in Pomegranate”
-TrebleZine.com

“At first, particularly coming from The Mighty Ocean, the departure can be jarring, but just give Astronautalis a few moments to flash his conman’s pearly whites (or gold grill as may be the case). He’ll have your ears in bed with him before you have time to think."
-ConsequenceOfSound.net

"this album is great."
-PartyEnds.com


"mind-blowing"
-Reax Magazine

I have a complaint to make. I still can't buy "The Unfortunate Affairs Of" All I want to do is wander about town with this song playing in my headphones. How can I make this happen?
