Her latest single is about, yes, the Voyager space probes launched in 1977 and still operating, even though V1 is 24.56 billion miles away and V2 is 21.34 billion miles from home. Why is she so interested in interstellar craft? Boy band singer-turned-astrophysicist Brian Cox invited her to contribute a song to his Emergence stage show, which debuts later this.

Through cheer chutzpah, he convinced Christopher Thorn and Roger Stevens from Blind Melon into the project. They have never worked together outside of their old band. And the keyboardist?

But since it\u2019s been shelved since then, it\u2019s kinda new to everyone. This was supposed to be the follow-up to Electric Ladyland, the Surfers\u2019 breakthrough album, but the label said it wasn\u2019t commercial enough. When the band took it to another label, it was reworked and released under the title of Weird Revolution.

For the band\u2019s tenth album, Matt is all about \u201ccosmic mystery,\u201d the concept of First Contact, and the vastness of space. The title refers to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wow!_signal\">a strangle signal picked up by a radio telescope in 1977<\/a> and never fully explained.
