I gave them another go and no, sorry but no, how are they a phenomenon?

I don't like all their stuff but I do like their way to do things. And those costumes. Hilarious!

I thought so, well, evidently, it's something that interests him, I don't think it has to do specifically with sci-fi or fantasy worlds per se, rather with a longing for escapism, possibly deriving from a sense of estrangement and disconnect. The lyrics to Heathaze are often maligned but there are some brilliant moments. pointing or alluding to this, the most obvious being, 'I feel like an alien, a stranger, in a stranger place' but also 'It's time to stop this dreaming, must rejoin the…
