Fuzzed up new single ‘More Than Friends’ is out now on Flip Flop Records from The Astronauts, with a new album to follow later in the year. It follows last year’s ‘Ease Up’ single.
“‘More Than Friends’ is a song about falling deeply into someone. Moving beyond the innocent phase and into something more intense and consuming. It captures that overwhelming moment when emotions hit you all at once, bringing both panic and ecstasy.
“At its core, it’s a song about young love. The excitement, the uncertainty, and the courage it takes to push past your fears and go after something that truly matters to you. It’s about finding the confidence within yourself to take that leap,” said Benjamin Fox and Gordon Cooper, who constitute The Astronauts.
Both are American-born musicians, collaborating transatlantically between Detroit and Ireland. In addition to their work as The Astronauts, Fox and Cooper also compose and record under the name Irish Lights, an ambient instrumental project inspired by the timeless beauty and solitude of Ireland’s lighthouses.
Beyond their own music, the duo also operate Sleeping in Space LLC, a boutique Detroit-based label dedicated to releasing independent and forward-thinking music.
