With their latest release, The Purple Helmets blast off into nerd-rock bliss with “Moon Base Alpha (Space 1999).” Clocking in at just 2 minutes and 30 seconds, this track is an irresistible earworm, weaving the story of a marooned space crew hurtling through interstellar chaos.
Unlike their deeper, more introspective tracks, this one is pure fun—packed with catchy call-and-answer vocals, pulsing basslines, spacey synths, and choppy guitars. It’s a wild ride that brings to mind the energy of Supergrass, Franz Ferdinand, Blur, and even the offbeat explorations of My Morning Jacket.
Infectious, high-energy, and impossible to listen to just once—”Moon Base Alpha” is a sci-fi-fueled jam that will have you hitting replay before you even touch down.
