Interstellar

2012 album from the acclaimed Indie singer/songwriter. Interstellar is a revelation, an album that floats free of it's maker's history - time spent with Vivian Girls, Dum Dum Girls and Crystal Stilts - and offers the listener something strangely other, as alien as it is familiar, as compelling as it is enchanting. Gone is reverb as the holy route to pop-grandeur, scaling a wall of teenage tears, and in it's place is the confident swagger of a singer and auteur building the simplest of pop moves into aching, full-blown melodramas, grabbing hold of an emotion and riding it's darker waves.
