Aluminum (album)

Aluminum was the second album from New York City band Gods Child.

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. It is littered with damaged guitars, distressed mellotron, and raw vocals.

Aluminum was critically acclaimed, but singles "Female Elvis" and "This is the Real World?" only charted regionally. "Need" was featured in the Fox Network television series Melrose Place.

After this album, the band moved from New York City to Los Angeles and recorded their follow-up album Dream This under the new moniker Joe 90 in 1999.
