After 7 years of silence, the Australian Darkwave/ PostPunk act CHIRON returns with a new album. Chiron is the brainchild of ex-IKON vocalist Michael Aliani, supported by Dino Molinaro (IKON) on bass and cello. In addition, Leanne Coe can be heard on saxophone for the first time.
Influenced by groups like Joy Division and the early New Order, Michael left IKON in 1997 and started his project "Chiron".
“The Sun goes Down” is certainly Chiron's darkest and best release yet. Themes like isolation, loneliness and loss are the focus.
Of course, typical PostPunk and Joy Division elements are included, but especially the dark tracks with saxophone reflect the range and development of CHIRON.
The album also features a Remix by JM Lederman (The Weathermen, Ghost & Writer...) Tracklist::

Man mag ja von der australischen Dark Wave-Formation IKON halten was man will, aber in den letzten Jahren haben sie es doch etwas arg mit den Wiederauflagen alter Veröffentlichungen bzw. Singles-, Live- & Demo-Compilations übertrieben. Die Diskografie von CHIRON, der Band des ehemaligen IKON-Sängers Michael Carrodus ist dagegen recht übersichtlich und „The Sun Goes Down“ das erste richtige Album nach sehr langer Zeit. Inzwischen ist CHIRON zum Trio geschrumpft und neben IKON-Bassist Dino Molinaro noch Leanne Coe mit ihrem Saxophon an Bord. Gerade dieses für Bands aus dem Dark Wave-Genre ungewöhnliche Instrument (von den THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS mal abgesehen) sorgt im Soundgewand von CHIRON für eine frische Note und erinnert gleichzeitig an die alten CLOCK DVA zu „Advantage“-Zeiten. Natürlich klingt die dunkel-volle Bariton-Stimme von Michael Carrodus (inzwischen Aliani) immer noch nach Ian Curtis und Adi Newton (bzw. nach alten IKON) und der Bass nach Post Punk, aber der Rest ist schon deutlich elektronischer, rhythmischer bis experimenteller gehalten. Nach einigen Durchläufen stellt sich jedoch schnell eine latente Sogwirkung ein, der man sich schwer entziehen kann und das Album zu einem frühen Höhepunkt des noch jungen Jahres 2022 macht! „The Sun Goes Down“ endet übrigens mit einem absolut lässigen Remix von „Darker Days“ durch Jean Marc Ledderman (u.a. THE WEATHERMEN), welcher nicht etwa die Sonne unter gehen, sondern regelrecht aufgehen lässt! Gebt CHIRON unbedingt eine Chance, denn das Album hat weitaus mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient und die vor allem über die regulären IKON-Kreise hinaus gehen sollte.

Chiron, the Australian darkwave/post-punk act, has released a new album: A Dark Beauty.
The band was founded by Michael Aliani, former lead vocalist of IKON. His bandmates are Dino Molinaro (IKON, bass/cello) and Ivan Bullock (electric guitar).
While known for blending darkwave, gothic, post-punk, and electronic music, the music now ventures into progressive territories as well, but with a fresh, modern approach.
Special guests appear on two tracks: Kriistal Ann on “Flesh and Blood” and Yvette Winkler on “Oblivion”. Australia’s time-hallowed darkwave trio unveil their most diverse and emotionally-charged record to date.3 years of studio work has finally been unveiled in A Dark Beauty.
“This album is about finding beauty in the darker currents of human experience,” the band explain. “There’s a strange luminosity that can emerge from grief, longing, and uncertainty. We wanted to capture that contrast — something stark but radiant.”
This new release is a shadow-drenched and introspective affair that explores the tensions between fragility and strength, despair and transcendence. A Dark Beauty marks a bold evolution in Chiron’s sound. While known for their genre-defying mix of darkwave, gothic, avant-garde, and electronic music, this album honors its roots while venturing into modern and progressive territories. It blends thick, brooding atmospheres, driving basslines, cinematic textures, downtuned guitars, and pulsing rhythms beneath haunting, intimate vocals.
The result is a record that feels both expansive and intensely personal.
Fans of darkwave, post-punk, and alternative rock will find familiar tones, but with a fresh, modern twist. released July 17, 2026
