[15th January 2021] Noam, Alfie and Mattia, better known by their uber-cool band name Galactic Dust, are the new kids on the block making a name for themselves in the world of indie and electronic pop. The North London-based trio joined forces in 2018 and have since been cooking up a musical storm in their home studio writing, recording and mixing everything themselves, all whilst drawing inspiration from the 90’s sound and aesthetic and pairing it with influences from a wide range of genres and artists including everyone from Kali Uchis to Tame Impala and Miles Davis.

The eclectic sounds of Galactic Dust are the meeting point between classic, soulful vocals, french-touch beats, disco bass riffs and effervescent guitar grooves. Their unique, indie, ‘sparkly’ pop sound was the inspiration behind their band name since their music is sure to leave you lost in a dazzling universe and their latest offering, ‘The Pizza Song’ is of no exception.

Drizzled in electric piano chords, slathered with succulently soulful vocals and paired with a sprinkling of shimmering synths, ‘The Pizza Song’ is a deliciously hot slice of contemporary, indie, electro-pop that pushes the boundaries of what pop music can and should be in the modern age. Dressed in a novelty exterior, ‘The Pizza Song’ is a playful and skilfully written allegorical track that cleverly and lightheartedly tackles themes of body image, female empowerment and sex, all under the guise of a simple, up-tempo pop song about wanting some pizza.

Revealing the meaning and message behind ‘The Pizza Song’ and music video, Galactic Dust explains:

“The pizza song is a track that melts humour with seriousness and self-derision with empowerment. It presents Noam in a leading role with sexy and liberating lyrics. She appropriates codes of seduction, explicitly expressing her desires, pleasures and weaknesses with no filter. The point of the song is to give Noam a voice that is not often offered to many female artists in popular music.

“‘The Pizza Song’ is fun, sexy, genuine, unapologetic and in-charge and Noam is the sassy frontwoman at the helm of it all, telling the boys what to do and defining the relationship in the way she wants to, with confidence, elegance, style and humour. The music video reflects our [Galactic Dusts’] will to disrupt the usual imagery attached to women in pop culture. The barrier between male and female representation is broken down in the video as the male band members are given traditionally feminine roles, supporting and backing their front-lady. The ‘pizza bath’ scene especially offers a vignette of us all and how we juxtapose sexual magnetism with humour and personality.”

With a focused collective vision and a DIY, out-of-the-box approach, Galactic Dust are a band that is fully in charge of their journey; steering their art, music and fashion exactly in the direction they want it to go, evolving their sound and look to the changing times. With a multitude of skills under their belt and a wholly unique outlook to songwriting and production, Galactic Dust continues to create authentic music that’s both fun and meaningful, perfectly striking the balance between playful and poignant.
