The Aliens have landed! "Astronomy For Dogs" sees former Beta Band members Gordon Anderson (aka Lone Pigeon), John Maclean and Robin Jones reunite for a fantastically eclectic debut album. It's epic, it's psychedelic, it's pop. It's gloriously over-the-top but also sharply on-the-money. This cosmically ambitious record begins with the organ-led pop swagger of 'Setting Sun' and motors straight into 'Robot Man' - surely the superfunk jazzerama sound of Sly Stone meeting Steely Dan, and "Astronomy For Dogs" doesn't let up. Thrill to the garage rock shimmy and shake - imagine The Velvet Underground gone funk - of 'Only Waiting'. Jump around to the Merseybeat charm of 'Glover'. And on it goes, this album that's set its controls for the heart of the sun, and for the sunny side of your heart (and sometimes the rainy side, too). 'The Happy Song' is, irrepressibly, irresistibly, just that.
