Young Astronaut are brothers Chris and Pete Boakes, who developed their distinctive acoustic-led sound over years of jamming together at their home near the New Forest, drummer Niko Battistini and bass player Paul Meeson.
The band's debut album Fawn is a collection of ten emotionally charged tracks produced by Geoff Swan and mastered by Jon Astley.
