‘Be An Astronaut’ new release from Declan McKenna

Declan McKenna is very pleased to share a new track, Be An Astronaut, and a series of additional new stops on his UK tour for the Spring. With many of the original live dates selling out immediately (including several venue upgrades), the tour now expands to 32 nights across the UK and Europe. See below for further details.

Be An Astronaut received a world first premiere yesterday via Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show. Listen to the track here

Declan’s new album ‘Zeros’ moves to 4^th September 2020 through Columbia Records, and is now preceded by a fourth track with the spectral ‘Be An Astronaut’ streaming today. A piano-led, multi-layered opus that operates in a similar sonic space and hue as Bowie, you wouldn’t necessarily associate this sound with Declan’s previous output, but alongside latest single  Daniel, You’re Still A Child it’s quickly becoming apparent that this 21 year old musician knows how to paint in broad strokes and with future colours. Zeros is a record full of surprises, and Be An Astronaut is its irregular heartbeat.

All of the packaging for the new record has been manufactured using 100% recycled card or responsibly sourced FSC paper from sustainable forests, and then printed with vegetable or soya-based ink. The vinyl is pressed on 100% recycled compound, and the limited edition cassette format is made from recycled plastic. Fans are also being given the option to offset their carbon footprint via Carbon Checkout.
