I expected a psychedelic number when I pressed play on A Star Pilot from Saturn’s latest single “Byeee.” What I got instead was so much better.
This track from the Sydney act with a trippy name is so powerful in its simplicity. There are no bells and whistles, no artifice. Instead it delivers the elements that really matter in music. A compelling story. An honest lyric. Emotional vocals. It’s moving. It draws listeners in with its delicacy, ensuring that by the time the music swells we’re all on board.
A Star Pilot from Saturn initially seemed like an odd name for an act with such a classic sound. But when you consider that songs like “Byeee” really out of this world, it all makes perfect sense.
