Astronauts, etc. (the solo project of Toro y Moi keyboardist Anthony Ferraro) shared a third track from his forthcoming sophomore album Living In Symbol today; “Shut My Mouth” is a meditative ode to silence that finds Ferraro singing, “I want to be quiet / Wanna shut my mouth / Hear there’s nothing like it / You can hear yourself.”
Living In Symbol — which was co-produced by Chaz Bear of Toro y Moi and includes the previously released singles “The Border” and “The Room” — is out July 27 on Company Records; it is available for pre-order now via Company and streaming services.
Astronauts, etc. is thrilled to announce a North American tour in support of Living In Symbol. All dates are with The Mattson 2 and tickets are available now.
