Pitchfork: Stellastarr* to Tour in Support of New Second Album

Stellastarr* to Tour in Support of New Second Album

Sometimes when you're writing a press release, you just gotta go for broke. New York's Stellastarr* are a pleasant enough punkish indie pop wave whatever combo, and their 2003 debut got a 7.4 from this very 'fork. But the announcement of their sophomore album on RCA, Harmonies for the Haunted, promises "a grandiose, limitless expression of the array of emotions that can occur within one moment." Furthermore, we the listeners will be "awestruck, engrossed, and lost in time" upon the entry of Haunted's honeyed tones into our auditory canals. Nobody can accuse Stellastarr* of playing the low-expectations game.

Harmonies for the Haunted will reach the public on September 13 with a grandiose, limitless tracklist that goes a little something like this:

01 Lost in Time
02 Damn This Foolish Heart
03 The Diver
04 Sweet Troubled Soul
05 Precious Games
06 Born in a Fleamarket
07 On My Own
08 When I Disappear
09 Love & Longing
10 Island Lost at Sea
