Superheroes of Space

Superheroes of Space

Space turned out to be a killer of a theme. Unsurprisingly the topic created a lot of reverb, electronica, large noises and tiny tiny noises. Perhaps our most sonically coherent album, Superheroes of Space was probably our biggest party record. For specialist parties. This also formed the last album of what came to be known the Superheroes trilogy.
