Background
The Pop Group reunited in 2010 originally to tour, but eventually recorded and released their first new album in over 30 years, Citizen Zombie in 2015. The band released a live compilation entitled The Boys Whose Head Exploded in May, and in July announced they were back in the studio with producer Dennis Bovell, who produced their debut album Y in 1979. One month later the album was ready for preorder via PledgeMusic, and on August 31 they revealed the album title, artwork, and track listing in an interview with Fact Magazine. Singer Mark Stewart described the album as "a stand against manufactured hate" and "a hypersonic journey into a dystopian future full of alien encounters and sci-fi lullabies."
Release
The album will be released on October 28, 2016, and will be preceded by the single "Zipperface."
