"Intelligent Guy (Astronaut Version)" Released:2026
After the Astronaut is the ninth studio album by the American rock band Butthole Surfers,released on June 26,2026 through Sunset Boulevard Records. After the Astronaut was originally recorded in the late 1990s,but after it was shelved,the band reworked many of its tracks for the 2001 album Weird Revolution.
Despite their success with the album Electriclarryland (1996),the band's relationship with Capitol Records grew increasingly strained. After the Astronaut,which was intended for release in 1998 as the follow-up to Electriclarryland,was shelved,and the Butthole Surfers parted ways acrimoniously with their manager,Tom Bunch.[2] After resolving their dispute with Capitol,they re-recorded most of After the Astronaut's songs for their 2001 album Weird Revolution,on the Hollywood Records/Surfdog Records imprint,which was their most electronic album to date and had a trip hop sound.[3][4]
