The Moonlandingz, the trio of Lias Saoudi (Fat White Family), Adrian Flanagan (Acid Klaus, Eccentronic Research Council) and Dean Honer (Add N to X, All Seeing I), have announced details of their sophomore album No Rocket Required. It’s their first in eight years and is out April 25 via Transgressive Records, and features contributions from Iggy Pop, Nadine Shah, Jessica Winter and Ewen Bremner (Trainspotting‘s Spud).
The album includes their recent single “The Sign of a Man” and they’ve just shared a second, electro-funk number “Give Me More.” Says Saoudi, “Even god would lose his innocence in Yorkshire. This song is an ode to the limitless. It’s like what the great Michael of Owen said: we are all geniuses when we dream.” Listen below.
