Why The Wires - All These Dead Astronauts

Review by Mark Cowtan

All These Dead Astronauts, the latest album by Why The Wires, is an eclectic mix of electronic and rock sounds that takes the listener on a journey through space and time. The album opens with the haunting track "Lost in the Void," which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its atmospheric soundscapes and introspective lyrics.

Throughout the album, Why The Wires experiments with different genres and styles, from the upbeat and danceable "Neon Nights" to the brooding and introspective "Gravity's Pull." The band's use of electronic elements and distorted guitars creates a unique sound that is both futuristic and nostalgic.

One standout track is "The Last Transmission," which features a spoken-word interlude that adds a sense of urgency and tension to the song. The lyrics on this album are also noteworthy, with themes of isolation, loss, and the human condition explored in depth.
