Observers is a new project fronted by Martin Kennedy whose ambient rock band All India Radio has seen music used in CSI, One Tree Hill and many more. 

Canadian metal titan Devin Townsend even covered an All India Radio song that he fell in love with while on holiday.

Kennedy has also released over fifteen albums with Steve Kilbey of psychedelic rock legends The Church.

Upcoming album The Emerald is the second from Martin Kennedy's instrumental metal project, Observers. The Emerald's instrumental post-metal was inspired by the primeval forests and hidden portals of the cover art by visionary art pioneer Gilbert Williams, one of Kennedy's favourite artists. Once again mixed by Joe Haley of Australia's Psycroptic, the album is equal parts crushing guitars and atmospheric soundscapes, reminiscent of Kennedy's ambient rock project All India Radio.

Observers' debut The Age of The Machine Entities earned widespread acclaim:

"A sprawling space-metal epic in its own regard, incorporating experience with their genre-spanning disregard for accordance to fashion a bold sound that’s worthy of standing in proximity to the science fiction masterpiece" - 8/10 Distorted Sound

"Spacey and doomy" 3 stars  - Sea of Tranquility

"Sounds brilliant" - Steve Kilbey, The Church

"Spacey and stoner yet has a futuristic, ominous vibe" - Cutting Edge Metal
