If anyone here is a fan of Intronaut, you know the band has basically been completely radio silent about their future for several years now. No updated social media posts, no new music, no interviews… nothing for years at this point.

Sasha recently did an interview on Anderton’s about his guitar line at at the very end (around 42 min mark) explicitly confirms they have a new album coming in 2027.

I know they recently announced a couple one off shows but this is big news for Intronaut fans. I basically was under the impression Sasha had become so successful as a luthier that he was totally focused on that (understandably) and the band would basically dissolve.

Finally, confirmation they are indeed still a band and still recording music!

I remember Dave did an interview after the last album dropped in 2020 and said “don’t worry, it won’t be 7 years between our next albums again” and here we are getting a new album exactly 7 years after the last again lmao.

Regardless, massively looking forward to new music. One of the most underrated bands in the scene, IMHO. Excited for this one.

Intronaut and The Contortionist teasing new music in 2026, what a time to be alive fellas.

This EP by TesseracT "Perspective" has completely enraptured me the entire past year. Most of the time acoustic covers are unnecessary for bands, but this EP totally transformed some of the best songs off of One and made them into their own beautiful pieces of music. Are there any bands or songs that capture this energy? A progressive acoustic sound? I love Elliot Colemans voice on this too, so vocals like his would be the best if you have any recs. Thanks!

for me it's Dvota

Woke up this morning with like 3 songs from "Memorial" in my head. Now I'm listening to the album while grinding in an MMO. Sometimes it feels good to dig in the butt a little.

Haters of this album might say that this song is too simple for this band, but I think this song is the best song on Coma Ecliptic.

very cool

This should be in the Hall of Fame.

I followed the contrast between Chaney Crabb’s clean voice and the pressure around it, then stopped where repeated refrains began to flatten different kinds of loss. And the heaviest sound was never the whole story, rather it was recognition.
