"Retro game pop group" Desert Planet's new album "Joystick Pop" comes out September 29, but you can already download a high-quality mp3 and video from the record now over at their website. The video for the featured track "Lost Galaxians" was shot in Northern Lapland, Finland and is described as "b-class science fiction movie". Fun stuff.
