Kinda our thing,\u201d Leary adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImbuya\u201d follows the soaring surrealism of initial surf-punk single \u201cJet Fighter\u201d which Earmilk quite accurately described as \u201cexactly what you would imagine, and exactly what you never thought you could feel again. Ironic, absurd, melodic, and of course, entirely relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A mythical \u201clost\u2019 record, After The Astronaut was originally scheduled to come out on April 7, 1998 but shelved by Capitol Records for being too abrasive and uncommercial. Expecting a pop follow-up to their #1 Modern Rock Hit \u201cPepper,\u201d the album was pulled off the release schedule and tossed unceremoniously in the closet. Its tracks were later reconfigured and reworked as the album Weird Revolution in 2001, which the band wasn\u2019t very happy with. \u201cHollywood Records bought the album but wanted to make changes to it which was an uncomfortable experience for us,\u201d Leary notes. Instead of allowing that recording to embody its original intent, the band opted to revisit the music as it was designed. \u201cNow we have the right to release the original recording the way we intended it to be with its original title, After The Astronaut.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 12-track album is a fascinatingly oblique tour-de-fart. Filled with acid-drenched, industrial-inflected soundscapes peppered with Haynes\u2019 ofttimes stream-of-consciousness vocals, After The Astronaut is exactly what you\u2019d expect from Butthole Surfers but nothing you\u2019d predict. Kicking off with the trippy psychedelic cacophony of \u201cWeird Revolution\u201d into the grimy, proto-industrial synth-grunge of \u201cIntelligent Guy\u201d toward the mesmerizing and hypnotic \u201cYentel\u201d, it\u2019s an album of textures and abrasion but with solid musicianship to keep it anchored. Sinuous and serpentine, it encircles the melodies in orchestrated musical anarchy, which Stereogum characterized them appropriately as \u201cthe biggest freaks on the American underground rock circuit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AFTER THE ASTRONAUT<br \/>Track Listing<br \/>Side A<br \/>01 \u2013 Weird Revolution<br \/>02 \u2013 Intelligent Guy<br \/>03 \u2013 Jet Fighter<br \/>04 \u2013 Mexico<br \/>05 \u2013 Imbuya<br \/>06 \u2013 Venus<\/p>\n<p>Side B<br \/>07 \u2013 The Last Astronaut<br \/>08 \u2013 Yentel<br \/>09 \u2013 Junkie Jenny in Gaytown<br \/>10- They Came In<br \/>11- I Don\u2019t Have a Problem<br \/>12 \u2013 Turkey and Dressing<\/p>\n<p>For more on The Butthole Surfers, visit: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ButtholeSurfersMusic\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ButtholeSurfersMusic\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ButtholeSurfersMusic<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-block sd-like jetpack-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded\" id=\"like-post-wrapper-102321983-68800-69e89ed05a0b9\" data-src=\"https:\/\/widgets.wp.com\/likes\/?ver=15.7.1#blog_id=102321983&amp;post_id=68800&amp;origin=xsrock.com&amp;obj_id=102321983-68800-69e89ed05a0b9\" data-name=\"like-post-frame-102321983-68800-69e89ed05a0b9\" data-title=\"Like or Reblog\">\n<h3 class=\"sd-title\">Like this:<\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><span>Like<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"loading\">Loading&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sd-text-color\"\/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sd-link-color\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source xsrock.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Butthole Surfers Release New Song \u201cIMBUYA\u201d\u2026\u201c\u2019Imbuya\u2019 was conceived and produced much like a fart after eating beans,\u201d says guitarist Paul Leary of BUTTHOLE SURFERS about the textured, psych-sludge transgressive single, which is released today. \u201cImbuya\u201d is the second single from their upcoming album AFTER THE ASTRONAUT, with a release date of June 26, 2026, via [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2384067,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25179],"tags":[355106,34070,464526],"class_list":["post-2384066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-butthole-surfers","tag-punk","tag-the-butthole-surfers"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Butthole-Surfers-Release-New-Song-IMBUYA.webp","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384066"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384066\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2384068,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384066\/revisions\/2384068"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2384067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
