Self-described as his “first foray into 80s-style synthwave (with a Bowie flare),” “Galactic Pioneers (We’ll Touch the Stars)” is a spacey synth-pop success from Röckët Stähr. The space-traversing lyrics — “we push to new frontiers, galactic pioneers,” — mesh aptly with glistening synths and a “there’s no looking back,” ethos, as the digital spacefarers cross into the unknown.
Bouncy synth additions rouse during the “we cross the astral plane,” sequence, bolstering the mix with a peppier rhythmic push. The distant-feeling “no more lies,” reflective vocals add a hooky confidence throughout, as does the “stars are calling,” effervescence. “Galactic Pioneers (We’ll Touch the Stars)” is a stylish, glitzy synth-pop triumph from Röckët Stähr.
The singer/songwriter is also the creator of “the world’s first animated rock opera feature film”: Röckët Stahr’s Death of a Rockstar. Check out various platforms to stream it via the artist’s website.
