The long awaited EP is finally here. We are currently working on distribution, both physical CD’s and MP3’s. Once it’s ready, we’ll let everyone know. Until then, we would like to thank all those involved. Bundle up and stay warm.

With our EP set for delivery on February 2nd, we thought it’ll be proper to give a little insight on the artist of our cover. Here are a few words from the artist’s website and as you will see why we knew her art would merge with our sound so well:

The lines that run through Ana Maria Velasco’s art take inspiration from every corner of her life. Ana Maria was born in Bogotá, Colombia, to a family of political leaders, poets, writers, and rebellious figures; she grew up between a Nicaragua (her mother’s homeland) undergoing the throes of dictatorship and revolution and a Colombia ravaged by narco-terrorism. These turbulent, yet inspiring environments heightened Ana Maria’s sense of social awareness and, early on, solidified art as a path for bringing positive change into the world.

Her landscapes are populated by drastically diverse people and situations that are harmoniously tied together through line, color and form. Ana Maria’s paintings explore how a line can transform a helicopter into a river alchemize a quiet mountain top into a populated city; unify an intimate dinner with a loud soccer stadium spectacle. One element flows into another, effortlessly leaving behind a translucent trace of dreams, memories, and figures. The layered scenes often depict battlefields and sports arenas, yet the turmoil is surprisingly calm, wrapped tightly in a mysteriously peaceful poetic quality. The portraits and the Jungle series are driven by her love for people, animals and nature. She captures the spirit of her subjects, revealing a glimpse into another realm, leading the viewers through fantastic tales, inviting them to invent their own story.

The Destronauts spent a lovely autumn afternoon with Cristina Ramirez at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Here are some select favorites from our shoot.

Destronauts kicks off the website tonight with a few new band photos.

And though the ‘3 Moons (EP)’ has been posted long ago on our Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, and other various outlets, it would only be fitting to have it on this site on this special occasion.

Speaking of ‘3 Moons (EP)’. We’re currently waiting to get our 4th mastered track back. While waiting, we decided to, perhaps, add a fifth song. We’ll keep everyone posted with the developing situation.

Until our next post, welcome to Destronauts.com and be well.
