“Aluminum,” the latest single by Stars in Coma, showcases André Brorsson’s masterful ability to blend dark, introspective themes with shimmering, melodic pop. Recorded at Moonport Studios, this track marks the first release from the band’s upcoming album We Were Already Islands. With its roots in the pandemic’s early days, “Aluminum” encapsulates a journey from somber reflection to a more hopeful, vibrant sound.
Brorsson’s influences, from Belle & Sebastian to David Bowie, are evident in the intricate layers of synths and jangly guitars that define the song. The track is a brilliant mix of 80s nostalgia and modern indie pop, making it both familiar and refreshingly original. It’s one of those rare songs that lingers in your mind long after it ends, a testament to the meticulous care put into its production. This release only heightens anticipation for the full album.
