Alice Sandahl conjures a gorgeous, three-dimensional pop creation out of thin air with her beautifully bittersweet and nostalgically dreamy new album Hologram — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Impeccably crafted and lushly appointed, the latest solo album from the former La Luz keyboardist leans into bright hooks, shimmering synths and emotionally rich songwriting. A mix of infectious pop melodies and reflective ballads, Hologram is a confident evolution — playful, poignant, and unmistakably hers.
For the past 16 years, Sandahl has been carving a unique sonic path, transforming her academic background and years on the road into a sound that is wholly her own. Her journey began with classical training in college and blossomed into her role as a founding member of the acclaimed rock band La Luz. Over the last decade, she has released four albums on the respected indie label Hardly Art, collaborated with visionaries like Ty Segall and Dan Auerbach, and spent countless hours touring — collecting stories, songs and hard-won perspective along the way.
Hologram is a colorful, soulful love letter to the broken heart. Intimately, delicately, it reflects on healing, hope, and growth after heartbreak. Tender words are carried effortlessly on buttery vocals, charming piano phrases cascade like flecks of light, dreamlike interludes sparkle and soothe between verses. Lead single Broken Baby stands out as a lighthearted jaunt that wouldn’t be out of place in an indie coming-of-age film.
It’s bold, electrifying, yet soft. In these songs, the listener is gently called to consider the innocence of past selves, and the wisdom that comes with experience. Hologram is sweet brown sugar on any lover’s tongue.
