Man or Astro-Man? return with new album
Space-age surf rockers Man or Astro-Man? return in 2013 with their first album of new material since 2000’s A Spectrum of Infinite Scale. The group reformed in 2010 to play a series of shows, and three years later, the Georgia-based sci-fi guitar slingers have a new set of material, recorded with Steve Albini in Chicago (as well as with Daniel Farris of Denial Labs in Birmingham, Ala.).
