1990s alt-rockers Belly are returning with their first new album in 23 years, DOVE, on May 4. Previously we posted the video for “Shiny One.” Now they have shared another song from the album, “Stars Align,” which references Superman. Listen below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

Singer/guitarist Tanya Donelly had this to say about the song in a press release: “‘Stars Align’ was a dark horse that we kept coming back to in the writing stage of the album, reinventing and restructuring it. It was nearly left behind a couple of times, but we knew we could get this one to a good place if we kept at it, and it finally came together in the 11th hour before recording. This has been one of my favorites, even in its awkward stages, since Tom sent us his first version of it. (The use of Superman as a trope is a little threadbare at this point, but I mean every word).”

The band’s Tom Gorman recorded the album alongside Paul Q. Kolderie (Hole, Throwing Muses, Radiohead).
