Aluminum (album)
Encyclopedia
Aluminum was the second album from NYC band Gods Child, littered with damaged guitars, distressed mellotron, and raw vocals. Produced by Tim Palmer
(who has worked with such acts as Pearl Jam
, Sponge, and Mission UK) the album features a spaced-out aura, solid musicianship and soaring sonics. Aluminum was critically acclaimed, but singles “Female Elvis” and “This is the Real World?” only charted regionally. Song “Need” was featured in the Fox Network television series Melrose Place. After this album, the band moved from NYC to Los Angeles
and recorded their follow up album Dream This
under the new moniker Joe 90
in 1999.
