Interplanetary Class Classics

The album features guest vocals from Yoko Ono, Philip Oakey, Randy Jones and Slow Club frontwoman Rebecca Lucy Taylor.

[1] Following their collaboration on Johnny Rocket, Narcissist & Music Machine...I'm Your Biggest Fan and the Moonlandingz EP, Eccentronic Research Council duo Adrian Flanagan and Dean Honer decided to continue their partnership with Fat White Family members Saul Adamczewski and Lias Kaci Saoudi by taking the Moonlandingz concept and turning into a fully-fledged live band.

The news accompanied the release of a video for the single 'Black Hanz', directed by Charlotte Kemp Muhl, and details regarding dates for the supporting tour.

In the announcement, band member Adrian Flanagan talked about the track, revealing, "It is written from the viewpoint of the girlfriend of some clichéd, self absorbed, pound-shop indie Lou Reed wannabe, who plays in some velvets / Mary chain-esque shoddy local band..You know the type, sociopathic skinny boys in leather jackets and winkle pickers, with cry baby, light weight, borderline drug problem - and with egos that far outweighs their talent for playing the chords, C, F and G through a fuzz guitar pedal, drenched in reverb.

According to a statement released by the band, the song was inspired by the political climate in the United Kingdom: "In these seemingly 1970's times of violent and hideous intolerance towards people of race, religion and culture, perpetuated by the over-zealous scaremongering of the right-wing press we wrote 'The Rabies are Back' from the perspective of these little booze cruise Englanders, those Union Jack short wearing, Euro lager drinking, chicken masala swilling, Lidl shopping, hard Brexit cheering, refugee baiting, balls of contradiction.

Luckily for fans of ridiculous pop, they took it another step and made Interplanetary Class Classics, a wild work of twisted genius and more fun than rabies, that's for sure.
