Butthole Surfers will release a long lost album. After the Astronaut was originally supposed to follow ElectricLarryland, but was shelved for not being commercial. It will finally be released via Sunset Blvd on June 26, 2026.
Guitarist Paul Leary says, “We were pretty stoked to make another album after the success of our previous album and its single ‘Pepper’. Capitol Records was stoked to get that next record until our relationship soured. Hollywood Records bought the album but wanted to make changes to it which was an uncomfortable experience for us. Now we have the right to release the original recording the way we intended it to be with its original title, After The Astronaut.”
