About the Artist
Lyrics
One fine day in my odd past I picked me up a transmission I turned the fission ignition Went looking for the broadcaster And when I first touched some ground They simply told me to leave Was kind of hard to believe 'Cause there was no one around This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound I had a talented wine That land of classical gas And on the planet of glass They sent me skipping through time I got to somewhere renowned For its canals and color of red And lots of guys who shook their heads Rhythmically to resound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound (This ain't the planet) This ain't no rock and roll town (This ain't the planet) This ain't no fuckin' around (This ain't the planet) This ain't the planet of sound (This ain't the planet) I met a guy in a Rover He said, "It's one more over It's just there where you're bound" This ain't the planet of sound This ain't the planet of sound (This ain't the planet) This ain't the planet of sound (This ain't the planet) This ain't the planet of sound (This ain't the planet) This ain't the planet of sound (This ain't the planet)

The event coincides with the band's 40th anniversary celebration in June.

Founding trio reunites with Emma Richardson, highlighting early UK support and milestones.

The track arrives ahead of their set at All Points East.

They've also shared a new single that's (kind of) about a decapitated chicken.
