Thrifty Astronaut is the recording moniker of Nick Jones, yet another Fort Collins, Colorado resident who has simply been blessed with too much musical talent. Already been featured on the brilliant Act So Big Forest Triton compiltation that we'd recommended on Tuesday, he has also only recently put out his debut full-length Caffeine Heartache, an album stuffed with lo-fi glory, jangling guitar melodies over the sounds of toy keyboards and drum machines, plus a real sense for ironic lyrics - and not taking yourself too seriously is just what we'd need much more in music nowadays. Listen to two album tracks below, a sarcastically twisted ode to the Golden State and a high school loser's self-pity ballad, and get the whole thing over at Jones' bandcamp.
