Alumiinium, Sinu Sädelev Sõber (which is still the official name of the band, the English translation being 'Aluminium, Your Glittering Friend') is an Estonian band formed as a project by Allan Vainola and Andres Aule in December 1994 in Tallinn.

The most active period of Alumiinium was in the years 1995–1998, when they released the CD single 'Taivaankoski' (1997) in Finnish for Finnish radio stations and the tape album 'Zeig' (1998), which consisted of 12 tracks. In July 2004, Alumiinium, Sinu Sädelev Sõber released their first full CD album entitled 'Garaažide taga' (Behind The Garages) compiled from both old and new material produced in 1994–2004.

Alumiinium, Sinu Sädelev Sõber is presently composed of three members: Allan Vainola (vocals, guitars), Andres Aule (electronics) and Margit Kärner (vocals, flute). Various other musicians have participated in recording the albums: Kalle Nettan (bass), Britta Baumann (keyboards), Margus Tammemägi (drums), Arle Soeson (vocals), Marko Naissoo (drums), Mart Süda (saxophone), Allan Jakobi (accordion), Lea Peterson (double bass), Laura Paju (vocals), Annika Põldäär (vocals) and Priit Kruus (vocals).

The band has been only a studio project and has never performed at any concert. Its style can be described as 'aluminium pop': melodic guitar-biased electro-pop with influences from primitive rock, indie pop and gothic. Read more on Last.fm.
