Kevin Martin has revealed more details about his long-awaited fourth album as the Bug. Fresh off a session with Gonjasufi, he told his Twitter followers, “Gonja’s voice is like a homesick alien’s heading for the stars…He is a brother from another planet.”

Not sure what the hell that means? Here are some hints from the manic man himself, as he lists records that represent where his head’s at…depending on the day, of course.
