Lande Hekt preps new album, shares "Gay Space Cadets" video

Muncie Girls leader Lande Hekt has announced her second solo album, House Without a View, which will be out September 23 via Get Better Records in North America and her own Prize Sunflower Records in the UK. Preorder it on purple marble vinyl.

The new single off the album is the jangly, tuneful and charming “Gay Space Cadets,” which Lande calls “a daydreaming song about wanting a life of excitement and adventure rather than a dull and ordinary life – one where people underestimate you and belittle you. And where you’re forced to buy into capitalism and become a pathetic, losing player in a game that you hate. I’d rather escape and live in a queer space fantasy and be brave.” You can watch the video, directed by Martin “gingerdope” Bannister, below.

Lande will open for Laura Jane Grace’s Canadian tour in September, and has UK shows as well. All dates are listed below.
