Spoozys are a streamlined, Japanese version of Man... or Astroman?, and like their American counterparts, they produce a sound that is out of this world. With songs that run the gamut from surf to hip-hop to disco, with samples from video games and MacinTalk thrown in for good measure, Astral Astronauts is an amazing distillation of American pop culture delivered in a frenzied blast that is pure Spoozys.
