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."

-Seattle Sound Magazine

"we absolutely love it!"

“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."

"mind-blowing"
-Reax Magazine

fyi: i love your music! and your name. i've always wanted to be an astronaut, see? haha

i'm planning on seeing you live someday soon, so if you're not coming up to montreal or toronto, i guess i have no choice but to hitchhike down south. or maybe we could make some super crazy arrangements and meet somewhere in the middle!

i also just came across your reading of 'Self-Portrait at 28' and i really liked that as well. oh and 'The Waterfall' is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard.

enough compliments! haha

best of luck,
timo

Whatever happened to those singles you had that were only lp's? The one you had on your myspace before the pomegranite stuff went up. I want to buy it so I can have it in my ears all the time. When will that happen?

i love that baltimore just refuses to learn its lesson about ever having anything work out for them. such optimism in a town thats been on the decline (in every way possible) since they found that dead poet in their gutter. god bless em!
