Show and Tell

When You Wish Upon a Starr*

With Somewhere Across Forever, indie kids stellastar* have an EP that is short (only three tracks, which we think is more like an enhanced single than an EP), but super sweet record that has the listener begging for more. Their buzz has been gaining momentum, most likely because the Brits have gone crazy for them (and as we all know, it usually takes a bunch of UK music writers to point out to American record labels what music is really cool).

Initially on the indie label Tiswas, stellastarr* recently were signed to the bigtime with RCA and have a full-length album due later this summer. We seriously cannot wait for that, but presently they are in the midst of a cross country tour supporting fellow New Yorkers Longwave so make sure not to miss them.
