The band switches from uptempo drum kicks to atmospheric soundscapes of echoing beats and guitars seamlessly, with Nicholas Petricca’s soaring vocals making the transitions even sweeter, especially noticeable on “Next in Line”. The song composition is impeccable for inciting dance parties and rowdy singalongs, with the falsetto vocals of “Shiver Shiver”, the opening drum sequence of “Quesadilla”, and the heavy synths of ”Fixin”‘ among the notable highlights. And it’s exactly what you would expect from a band who has toured with Panic! at the Disco, Grouplove, and Young the Giant: huge, catchy choruses, danceable melodies, and poppy, life-affirming lyrics. Snatched up by RCA and now putting out records proper, we have Walk the Moon. Then again, neither did the industry - as the band managed to self-release an album, tour extensively, and book appearances at last year’s Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza without label support. Scrolled through their list and didn't see "Gordon" by Barenaked Ladies.They say to never judge a book by its cover, but this age-old idiom probably didn’t see Ohio-based pop quartet Walk the Moon coming. Not an astronaut, but Dave Stewart's (Eurythmics) 2012 album 'The Ringmaster General' featured an Apollo Command Module! Not cover art, but Grateful Dead knocked off the STS-7 emblem for their backstage pass. The Ventures used my Morning Launch for this one in 1983. I think that picture confirms my suspicion that NASA has missed a trick all these years by not making greater use of surly looking cats in the space programe. I spotted another one next to the sofa in the photo on this story's page.Īn interesting shot on the new Klaxons album "Surfing The Void." The new Dido album has the distant shot of Bruce McCandless during the first untethered spacewalk.Ī couple of examples that pop into mind are the cover of the Afgham Whigs album "1965" (featuring a photo of the Ed White EVA) and the cover of Sleeper's album "Smart" (featuring the iconic photo of the Mercury Seven in their silver spacesuits). Matthew Good's " Last of the Ghetto Astronauts" has a walkout pic of the Apollo 8 crew on the cover. The Fruit Bats' 2005 album Spelled In Bones has an Apollo CSM, apparently submerged, on the cover. I just might download Bad Astronaut for that title alone. Here's another album cover that I just spotted. The band were inspired by reading Wally's story, and she and the band have been in touch with each other and had some fun conversations. The posting about the Ed Mitchell Clinic album reminded me of the Spiderbait album, Flight of Wally Funk. "If you took away the vocals, there'd still be a spacelike element to it," he said. Lopez said he's infatuated with the final frontier, and it carries over into the band's music. The title song on the "Only Child" EP mentions dreaming of "stars and astronauts" and the "Ed Mitchell" artwork shows planets behind a deconstructed sketch of a human. Space is a recurring theme in the world of Mostly Bears. It doesn't have an astronaut on its cover, but Mostly Bears' debut album, "The Ed Mitchell Clinic," is named after one, reports the Arizona Daily Star: The group named its new album after Apollo 14 astronaut Ed Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon who experienced something bassist Geoffrey Hidalgo called "instant global awareness": seeing the planet from afar and realizing that the world is one. Spiritualized lead singer Jason 'Spaceman' Pierce's previous band was Spacemen 3, and his most succesful album was 'Ladies & Gentleman, We Are Floating In Space'. The band 'Spiritualized' seem to be going for a spacesuit theme I just saw this image and this image in the local paper. I have #3 signed by Moby in a large mylar size, and he drew a cartoon on it as well. I'm surprised that they seem to have missed this Tom Petty one, which was being heavily promoted recently.
