Overview
With The Aliens' debut album Astronomy For Dogs preparing to land on March 19th, the mothership is sending out an advance party in the form of this formidable psych-pop nugget. 'Setting Sun' manages the tricky feat of marrying retro acid-rock stylings to a timeless pop song and then sprinkling this sublime concoction with a healthy dash of sonic spacedust. Put it alongside previous singles 'Happy Song' and 'Robot Man' and you can imagine what excitement the album delivers across its eleven tracks.
As for The Aliens live, it's an unmissable, fist-in-mouth experience that showcases the band's infectious energy and their frontman's magnetism.
