    Notes for editors

    • Galaxians add a modern twist to retro sounds, recalling the likes of Roisin Murphy, Hercules & Love Affair, Lynda Dawn and Sink Ya Teeth. For their second album, Chemical Reaction— written and recorded with long-time collaborator and producer Ross Halden at Hohm Studio in Yorkshire—the band have stripped back the music and pumped up the vocals. Emma joined the band in 2016, and with her unstoppable voice elevates the group to a fully-formed musical act. This new LP is all about her. “We just wanted to make a pop album with simple songs and let Emma shine and do her thing,” they say.
    • Partly influenced by the post-disco output of Mel Cheren’s West End Records, the congas and cowbell-spiced first single celebrates attraction in all its forms. The shorter Mama Ghetto Vogue edit of title track “Chemical Reaction” is brought to life by Darren Pritchard, vogue dancer and mother of Manchester’s House of Ghetto, who meets a neon wonderland in the electrifying video.
