DEAD ASTRONAUTS - “Forgetting Me”

Lo-Fi New Wave act DEAD ASTRONAUTS dropped their latest single and neon-lit visuals “Forgetting Me” from their upcoming full-length LP “Silhouettes.” The music video depicts a young couple trapped in a lackluster domestic relationship, slipping further in a cold, loveless downward spiral drag. The woman’s growing resentment leads her to creating a fantasy where she kidnaps her partner and torments him in raves before his eventual murder, ending in a rather beautiful and dramatic celebratory dance. It makes viewers wonder how this relationship began in the first place, and what could have caused the dissonance that brewed into such poetic rage. 

Blending the lines of Darkwave, Goth, Post-Punk and New Wave, Dead Astronauts launched in 2011 and recently regrouped as a trifecta consisted of some notable acts in the synth scene. The group is led by Seattle-based vocalist, musician and designer Jared Kyle and LA-based synth artist Florence Bullock, a.k.a. Glitbiter.  Switzerland-based Record Producer, Slade Templeton (Crying Vessel, Influx Studios) stepped in to help bring the Dead Astronauts’ new modern and edgy sound to life in 2019 and 2020 and round out the band. Dead Astronauts are back and ready to reignite the flames. Their new album “Silhouettes” will be out on Cold Transmission in 2021.
