Robert “M’botto” Ray and “Zombie” Ron Boggs have been making it strange as M’Lumbo since the mid-‘80s. Helmet’s Page Hamilton eventually joined the lineup and adds solar-scraping guitar to the duo’s thickly slathered samples and saxophonics. A handful of extended covers form the crux of Fairytale Aliens (Ropeadope): The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me” sounds like an exploding crate of DJ vinyl; Gary Numan’s “Cars” is as timely as ever (“Here in my car/ I feel safest of all”); and “Strawberry Fields Forever” is a haunted house that never goes dark.
