The songs of The Moonlandingz are a collaboration between the North & South of England’s Premier Outsider Voodoo music makers & analogue audio taxidermists, the ECCENTRONIC RESEARCH COUNCIL & THE FAT WHITE FAMILY.
This fictional group, ‘The Moonlandingz’, feature as part of the Eccentronic Research Council’s forthcoming concept album, ‘Johnny Rocket, Narcissist & Music Machine..I’m Your Biggest Fan!!’. (coming May 2015) which again, features narration throughout by the Uk’s finest actress, Maxine Peake.
The album tells the story from the point of view of a woman obsessed by the lead singer (Johnny Rocket) of an up & coming local band (The Moonlandingz), based in a ex – mining village in South Yorkshire.
This is not mere ‘mental illness, as show bizness’..this will be a cerebral trip for those fans that are in deep and for those in glass houses , pretending, not to see through the same eyes.
Preceding the album, there will be a digital EP of original tracks released by the MOONLANDINGZ (February 2015) both on FWF own imprint Without Consent Records via [PIAS].
The video was Directed by critically acclaimed, British Cult Horror Film Maker, Steven Shield.
featuring the Bafta–nominated Maxine Peake as a crazed stalker of a fictional band made up of members of the Fat White Family.
“Sweet Saturn Mine” is the lead track taken from the Moonlandingz’ EP out on 16th March – a collaboration between the Fat Whites and Eccentronic Research Council. Written from the perspective of a fan of a small-time local band – the infatuation with the group tips into obsession, before plummeting dramatically into something far more sinister.
Following the release of the EP, the Eccentronic Research Council’s fourth album, Johnny Rocket, Narcissist and Music Machine … I’m Your Biggest Fan and will be released on 18 May.
