According to the NME, the album is inspired as much by French psychedelic pop as it is by classic electro, soul, rock, disco and dance, and has been described as an “exhilarating” collection of “placid instrumentals, hypnotic, eastern-influenced grooves, gutsy balcony-shakers and widescreen, cinematic walls of sound”.
Needless to say, Liam’s not impressed.

The album’s title refers to the astonishing theory in the book of the same name by Christopher Knight and Alan Butler that the moon is an artificial construct.
