And So I Watch You From Afar

About

And So I Watch You From Afar (ASIWYFA) are a Northern Irish instrumental rock band from Belfast, active since 2005. Rooted in post-rock and math rock, they built their reputation through relentless touring across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, releasing seven studio albums along the way. Their self-titled 2009 debut is widely regarded as a landmark of the genre, and the band has continued to push their sound outward with each record - most recently on the orchestrally-tinged seventh album Megafauna (2024).
