| 'Calling All Stars'
is the first collection of pop songs
in ten years by the keyboardist/lyricist
of The Suburbs, a Minneapolis band
born of the late 70's/early 80's
new-wave/punk scene. Enter the satellite
world of 'Calling All Stars', orbiting
a distant home planet in search of
'another of my kind'. The dreamy
transmissions arriving here are powerful
and plush - a ghostly orchestra of
sounds, highlighted by twangy guitars,
ethereal brass, and darkly expressive
vocals.
