MAN OR ASTROMAN? have returned to earth for the human masses and after years of hibernation they are now unveiling their finest recorded work to date. it has been nearly 12 years since the band last released their intergalactic sonic wave forms- and the new album Defcon 5...4...3...2...1 is here now with a striking validity that the band is unquestionably as both tuneful and energetic as they ever have been. The record combines ever-familiar Astro audio tones and the well-established playing ferocity that MoAM? are known for but yet now there is an un- deniably evolution to the band that is both intuitive logical and well crafted. defcon is here and is here with imminent purpose. Recorded by STEVE ALBINI and DANIEL FARRIS. Albini and Now put your space helmet on and strap in.
