Wavy and fuzzy Psychedelic three-piece Farfisa has officially released a captivating live session video for their track “Space Race,” providing a visceral look into the cosmic soundscapes of their upcoming debut album, “Cosmodrome.” The album was released on July 16, 2026, via Manchester’s own Sour Grapes Records.

The live session for “Space Race” — a sprawling 8-minute-30-second odyssey — was filmed by Alberto Santinon (@AngularPhotos) and mixed by the band themselves. The track serves as a perfect introduction to the band’s Space Rock and Shoegaze sensibilities, featuring lyrics that invite the listener to “blast off” and “take me to the stars.”
Written and recorded during the summer of 2023, “Cosmodrome” was born from an “exploratory impulse” and a “spirit of rebirth.” The band—comprising Lucian Thomas (Guitar/Vocals), Will Robinson (Bass/Synth), and Luke Shenton (Drums/Percussion)—describes their creative process as building a “shuttle as it flew,” where improvisation acted as their oxygen.
The album explores an “ancient-future narrative,” weaving together themes of cosmic technology, human experience, and the “blue apple sanctuary” of Earth. From the heavy gravitational pull of “Jupiter Bodyguard” to the introspective “Household Gods,” the record promises a deep-space journey for fans of Psychedelic and Space.
