San Francisco, CA indie rock/dreampop/shoegaze/alt band Aluminum have revealed their new single “Beat“.
The track is taken from their upcoming debut album ‘Fully Beat‘, due to be released on May 24 via Felte Records. Pre-order your copy here.
The relatively short life of Aluminum has so far yielded a single (Spinning Backwards, 2020) and an EP (Windowpane, 2022), but their debut LP, overflows with tenured confidence and a singular style that deftly comprises shoegaze, big beat, and jangle pop. With influences ranging from Orbital, to Wipers, to The Avalanches and Sly and the Family Stone, theirs is a multifaceted take on established forms, fed through fuzz and led by honeyed, dual vocal harmonies from Bay Area post-punk veterans Marc Leyda (of Wild Moth) and Ryann Gonsalves (of Torrey).
“Beat” brings a steady, mid-tempo pulse that nods to Happy Mondays, with a rhythm section and hazy guitars that blend beautifully into lo-fi bliss under the hypnotic, counterpoint coo of both singers.
