After Strangers in My House, Stella Star is another dreamy band coming from Kraków. The Poles create music that is "bordering on shoegaze and dream pop" and finally showed some longer material on the debuting self-titled EP this spring.
Created in 2020 when the pandemics started to wreck havoc in the lives of people around the globe, the band was a kind of therapy for the artists to help them survive the difficult time. While their music clearly draws a lot from the dream pop genre, including the dense guitar-based compositions, the accents are put slightly differently here. Małgorzata Buracka's vocals are clearer than it's customary for the genre and the songs overall leaning more towards art pop with noisy components than full-on noise pop. Especially in the songs sung in Polish - perhaps it's my personal bias, but they seem to me to draw heavier from the Polish pop tradition.
Buracka's lyrics can be extremely moody, especially in my favourite song on the album, Beast from the East. "We are dancing in the storm/ With snow around/ With ice touching my skin/ I feel alive" make some of the most ethereal lines I heard recently. The Polish band proves that you don't have to be particularly noisy in order to achieve the same oneiric results other noise/dream pop projects do.
Stella Star costs 2.5 EUR (10 PLN).
