God Is an Astronaut are an Irish post-rock band from County Wicklow, formed in 2002 by Niels and Torsten Kinsella.

Their style employs elements of electronic music, krautrock, and space rock, reminiscent of Tangerine Dream.

The band was formed in 2002 by twin brothers Niels and Torsten Kinsella, who took the inspiration for its name from a quote in the movie Nightbreed.

[3] God Is an Astronaut's debut album, The End of the Beginning, was released in 2002 on the Revive Records label, which is independently owned by the band.

In mid-2006, a licensing deal with U.K. label Rocket Girl[5] saw both an EP, called A Moment of Stillness, and their second album, All Is Violent, All Is Bright, being re-released.
