Hello. We are the White Noise Astronauts. Last summer we released an album for free through the internet. It was called Fragments. It was ok by all accounts. Then we went away and focused on other things.
This summer we recorded a new album - an EP called The Dark Age of Swing. It was the first album with our, then new, guitarist Dylan and we recon its probably the most spiffing thing we've recorded.
Here is the tracklisting:
1. Transmission 1
2. Are We Having Fun Yet
3. Theres A Policeman Inside Our Heads
4. Interlude
5. The Engineering Of Consent
6. Welcome To The Futurama
7. You Have The Freedom
You can listen to The Dark Age Of Swing on this page.
As for the future we have some gigs planned. We're thinking of releasing a remix album and we've started writing music for our next EP.
Stay tuned.
ALSO: A Music Video for Transmission 1. Props to the Internet Archive for making this possible with all their awesome free to use clips.

CONVOI EXCEPTIONNEL [Minimalist / Rock / Hip Hop] "Convoi Exceptionnel are a Welsh rock and hiphop duo from the mean streets of Aberystwyth. Despite now living 300 miles apart and armed with only an SM58, a Mac and a twenty pound guitar from Argos they've managed to knock up some tunes for your enjoyment and get played on national radio"
DRAW ME STORIES [Alternative / Folk Rock / Indie] "A dark and raw yet perfectly polished and professional performance that will surely lead to bigger things...No doubt helped along by the fact lead singer Carl Hodgetts has the kind of Ian Curtis/ Paul Banks voice that makes girls go weak at knees!"
VALLEY LINES [Electronica / Dub / Psychedelic] "Valley Lines is the main musical project of Cardiff based electronic producer and sound artist Christian Gates, his musical output shifts from simplistic electro to densely layered electronica, often incorporating sound recordings from the natural environment with complex beats and synthesised noise"
