Starset is a band that's been around since 2013 and is made up of Dustin Bates, Ron DeChant, Brock Richards, and Adam Gilbert. So Bates, who formed the band, is a big fat space nerd (which is putting it so mildly considering his resume) and created a whole backstory for the band that constitutes the audio and visual of the group. So they were created by The Starset Society as a public outreach program to spread the message received from a mysterious signal from space. Their debut album came out in 2014 which is where this song comes from, and the album actually has a book that goes with it which details the backstory about the Starset Society. The second album came out in 2017, along with a graphic novel released through Marvel Comics. If you want to look it up it's called The Prox Transmissions. They toured for most of 2017 and 2018, and Bates said that they'd probably take a break after so he can work on music for another project. Since then a deluxe version of their second album has come out, and the band does have plans for a third sometime this year. Here's hoping that that one also comes with some more fantastical backstory because that is very unique and exciting.
Peace.
