For his next act, Garrett Borns — aka BØRNS — has crafted one of those lighter-in-the-air (or cell phone, if you will) anthems all aglow with atmospheric guitar and his stratospheric voice. It’s the first new song to emerge from his debut album, “Dopamine,” out Oct. 16 on Interscope. The album follows his 2014 EP “Candy” and their unfailingly poptastic singles “10,000 Emerald Pools” and “Electric Love,” both of which appear on the full-length and both of which fans get as immediate gratification singles (along with “The Emotion”) for pre-ordering. All very lovely, and there are sure to be more high notes on the Michigan native’s maiden outing.
