Long Way Back To The Moon

Released November 17, 2017 on Music Theories Recordings/Mascot Records, this is the band's seventh studio album and first in nearly seventeen years. On July 4, 2016, they announced via bassist Monty's Rockcast podcast (#176) that they had signed with a progressive record label and were working on a new album with the original lineup (Colvin, Huggins, Doss, Sonnier).
Said Colvin: "It was an absolute pleasure getting back together with the guys to record this album. I think we've all grown as musicians and as people since we first got together in '89, and I think our fans will really love this new stuff."
They descended upon Doss's studio in Houston, Texas in early 2016 to write and record.
"Internal Masquerade", the album's first single, examines the turmoil endemic to the human experience and the difficulties in keeping self-generated darkness at bay. A video for the song was created.
The second single, "Zombies", is a tongue-in-cheek study on finding love on the last day of human existence, blended with social commentary regarding modern society's obsession with its electronic screens.
A special treat for fans both old and new is "In The Clouds", the album's leadoff track and also the first GALACTIC COWBOYS song ever written. Penned in 1989 by Doss and Colvin after the demise of their previous outfit, THE AWFUL TRUTH, the song explores leaving the banal confines of this world behind and ascending to a higher plane of existence. It's also the song Huggins sang to earn his spot in the band!
