"We were pretty stoked to make another album after the success of our previous album and its single 'Pepper.' Capitol Records was stoked to get that next record until our relationship soured."
"Hollywood Records bought the album but wanted to make changes to it which was an uncomfortable experience for us. Now we have the right to release the original recording the way we intended it to be with its original title, After The Astronaut."
"During the making of After the Astronaut, Butthole Surfers submerged their creativity deeper into electronics, industrial beats, acid grooves, and other synthesized sci-fi sounds."
Butthole Surfers are releasing After the Astronaut, an album originally intended to follow 1996's Electric Larryland. Capitol Records rejected the album due to insufficient commercial viability. Following legal disputes, the band signed with Hollywood Records, which requested significant reworking of the material, resulting in its 1996 release as Weird Revolution. The band now possesses rights to release the original recording under its intended title. The album features deeper exploration of electronics, industrial beats, acid grooves, and synthesized sci-fi sounds. The core lineup includes guitarist Paul Leary, singer Gibby Haynes, and drummer King Coffey. The band has released the single "Jet Fighter" alongside the album announcement.
