You Are Not A Stranger Here is the band's seventh studio release and the first since 2017’s Brilliant Light. Produced by Champs keyboard player Thomas Collison the new album features some of Danny George Wilson’s most compelling songs to date. Mastered by Barry Grint at Air Studios. The Space Rocket has landed in a new world, full of rich vistas to explore, yet there is an underlying embrace of familiarity. You Are Not A Stranger Here.
