In a nutshell: The Aliens have already had one brilliantly creative spin around the world of pop as The Beta Band. And with the return of troubled genius/songwriter Gordon Anderson they have found a new, sparkly bounce to underpin their wildly imaginative music. Astronomy for Dogs is a rich gumbo of pure, psychedelic joy.

Imagine if you will: A sunburst of popelectronica with more fizzy twists and turns than a wonky rocket on Guy Fawkes night.
