Steve Mason is back on track. After a few years wandering in the musical wilderness he's back to his sardonic best. Last year's Meet the Humans was some of the strongest music he'd written in over decade. It showcased his ability to turn a phrase and write a killer melody wasn't a thing of the past ….

While few might have anticipated an alien invasion-themed collaboration between Steve Mason and Martin Duffy, its arrival makes perfect sense. Mason, of Beta Band fame, has a long history of crafting esoteric pop with biting wit and made very strong return to form on his 2016 solo outing, Meet the Humans. For his part, Duffy (formerly of Felt) has remained a chief architect of Primal Scream's sound since joining the band on keyboards in 1989.
