Butthole Surfers - After The Astronaut (Indie Exclusive, Opaque White Vinyl) (LP)

The Butthole Surfers have long been one of rock's most unpredictable and boundary-pushing acts, and After The Astronaut stands as a fascinating chapter in their storied history. Originally recorded in 1998 but shelved before release, this "lost album" has finally been brought to light thanks to guitarist Paul Leary, who returned to the original 24-track recordings and mixed the material as the band had intended at the time, preserving the creative spirit of that era.

The album showcases a bold and eclectic range of sounds, blending electronics, UK acid grooves, post-punk, and danceable beats into something distinctly Butthole Surfers. Lead single "Jet Fighter" delivers the absurd, melodic punk-psychedelia the band is beloved for, while the album as a whole offers a compelling glimpse into a turbulent and largely unheard period of the band's career. Produced and mixed by Paul Leary and engineered by Stuart Sullivan at Arlyn Recording Studio, the record includes a two-sided art insert with cover art by Leary himself.
