For Stars

For Stars offer timeless, richly recorded songs -- a well-proportioned blend of the dramatically bitter sweetness of '50s and '60s pop balladry and contemporary Indie Rock. While many retro-popsters obsessively toil to recycle Left Banke melodies in the spirit of nostalgia, For Stars maintain an up-to-date toolbox stocked with rock's mid-tempos and Lo-Fi's chord progressions. The resultant warm, Indie-flavored gems seem the product of an influenced group, rather than one hell-bent on raising the dead.
