Title - Rethink
Artist - Aerostation
For those unaware, Aerostation is a band exploring new boundaries of rock through a contamination of genres and styles: alternative rock, crossover prog, hard rock, electronic music, fine pop, ambient.
It’s a power trio without a guitarist. Liquid keys and strong and powerful guitar-like edited sounds are melted together in an original way and played by Alex Carpani through his custom keytar, while Gigi Cavalli Cocchi’s personal and recognizable touch on drums brings forth a strength within energy.
Alex takes care of the lead and backing vocals whilst Gigi and Alex are accompanied by Jacopo Rossi on bass. Jacopo is a well-known musician from the international metal scene (Dark Lunacy, Nerve, Antropophagus).
Aerostation’s new album is called Rethink and was released worldwide on September 19th, 2025 via Alex’s own label Independent Artist Records.
The album consists of 11 songs sung in English and musically speaking is a mix of crossover-prog / hard-prog / alt-rock /electronic-rock with a clear propensity to be combined with visuals, being a suggestive, descriptive and evocative music.

With Rethink being a starting over period, after life has forced us to change, shed our skin, and take a new direction, Alex opens his brilliant new album on a quietly spacial growth within the short The Dive and then we get brought forth the propellant guitar rocker Distant Cry, the drum-led AOR of Life Is Calling, the rhythmic prog of Meet Me At The End Of The World and the atmospherically-charged The Wait Is Over.
Along next is an emboldened Drive My Soul and the mid-tempo, indie-alt sounds of Life Is Too Short and they are in turn backed seamlessly by the rising rock balladry within Fly Over Me, the melodiously grooved Soulshine, the set rounding out on the synth-driven beauty Run As The Sun Goes Down, coming to a close on the expansive Messiah.
