Lets Talk About Space are two men on a mission to teach kids [and adults] about space, equipped with synthesizers, cellos, and whatever else comes to hand, crafting pop songs so catchy & entertaining you'd wish they were your physics teacher. Instead of a sarcastic, flappy mouthed, mean old man. I'd have paid more attention anyway.
They have released one EP so far, with a track documenting the first ever voyage into space - by a dog. An emotional song, focusing on the fact this was definitely a "one way ticket" for our poor furry explorer friend. Using rising, buzzing synth arps and a giant choral chorus, it's a track will push the "sob" buttons of any animal lover out there.
Lunar Oscillations is another of the bands songs, featuring the legendary Silver Apples, who were famous for being early incorporators of electronics into their rock music, circa 1967. This track has more of a synth funk to it, and develops into a dreamy ballad about the wonders of the universe.
If they keep on like this, teachers around the world will be watching their backs!
