Proxima by Stupid Cosmonaut
Our celestial journey continues...
On August. 24 2016, astronomers announced they had found a possibly Earth-like planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our sun. The planet, called Proxima b, sits in what is known as the habitable zone. What is more startling is that new evidence shows Proxima B could be an ocean planet like Earth.

Formed in 2016 in Bury, Lancashire, Stupid Cosmonaut draw inspiration from science fiction and the cosmos to create beautifully haunting visions of a not too distant dystopian future. A vast reach of influences can be found from caustic, electronic hallucinations as chilled as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Shultz to more organic post rock offerings in the vein of Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky.
