65daysofstatic have released shots of the vinyl and CD packaging for their upcoming album No Man’s Sky: Music For An Infinite Universe.

It was created by the band’s long term collaborator Caspar Newbolt from Version Industries, who has worked on previous 65daysofstatic albums Wild Light and We Were Exploding Away.

The soundtrack album, which accompanies the upcoming PlayStation 4 and PC video game No Man’s Sky, was originally scheduled to launch in June – but with the game’s release date pushed back by a couple of months, it’ll now be out on August 5.

The band will embark on a European tour in November to support the release with Thought Forms in support.

The English outfit said: “No Man’s Sky is a project about a borderless universe of infinite possibility. It’s certainly a brighter future to imagine than the one our little country just thrust upon Europe.

“We are always excited to be able to come and play shows in mainland Europe – now more than ever. Let’s get some anti-faScist international solidarity going on and not let the demagoguery drag us down to the oblivion it has planned for us.

“See you on the road. Unless our passports are no good any more.”

No Man’s Sky is an ambitious sci-fi title which will feature a procedurally generated universe containing billions of planets to explore, each with their own geology, lifeforms and weather systems. It’s set for release on PlayStation 4 and PC in the US on August 9 and in Europe the following day.
