The Aliens - Robot Man

Taken from their highly acclaimed debut Astronomy for Dogs, Robot Man ticks all those Beta / Aliens boxes… eccentric, unpredictable and this time it's downright joyous. Swimming in psychedelia and floating in funk, this possesses arguably the most bizarre chorus you WILL sing this year. Sonically, this could have been drafted into the soundtrack of Shaft. It comes from Fife. It's a futuristic funk experiment that shouldn't, nay doesn't make sense, but then again, have these guys ever aspired to anything different? With a video that's equally as enjoyable, this is a shamelessly, stupendously daft classic. [Finbarr Bermingham]
