Crushed Stars - Go Dark, Canaveral (2019) EN

Crushed Stars is a well-established already project by Todd Gauthreaux. This time, the master of dream pop melancholy, comes back with one of the best album's of the year, Go Dark, Canaveral.

Unhurried, slowcore pace and unique atmosphere are the pillars of Crushed Stars works. In his music, delicately whispering vocals are a perfect fit for the melodic music and airiness of the backing vocals making their cooperation effective. They sound brilliantly together especially in Saturnine where the vocals almost perfectly resemble the happy mumbling of Mike Stipe from R.E.M. (who recorded a track called Saturn Return, coincidence?). On the other hand, in Demolition Drils, the project is closer to I Like Trains. Broad spectre.

On the third hand, there are some quite (relatively) quick  and catchy songs like the single French Exit but it makes in fact an exception from the rule. The albums strength lies in its slowcore, intimately melancholic mood.

Go Dark, Canaveral costs 8 USD.
