The prolific Rachel Haden (The Haden Triplets, Jimmy Eat World, Weezer, Todd Rundgren, Hadestown) will join Simon and The Astronauts on a new odyssey: a sophomore album out in April.

The collective and their new collaborator have shared '10 League Boots' from the project today and it's an widescreen of an epic. The song will feature on the full-length, which will be called Simon and the Astronauts and arrive in April. 

Simon and the Astronauts launched in 2018 with the Puss in Boots EP, a project whose single 'I'm Just A Cat' has since done bits on TikTok.

The new album was written with Rachel Haden's voice in mind and is a collaborative effort spanning countries: Boo Hewerdine will feature, as well as Swedish multi-instrumentalist Gustaf Ljunggren, and none other than Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo.
