Cruelly not-bigger than Franz Ferdinand NYC geniuses, Stellastar*, are set to record their new LP in January and February next year.

Speaking to Gigwise website, the band’s frontman Shawn Christensen said

“It is very possible that we have turned a bit darker on this record; there's certainly more space and breadth than our debut. Less punk, more focus on flowing melodies and rhythms. Subjects range from deep paranoia and lost friends to orphans, leaders, followers and dependence on those you'd least expect; Also breaking free and unrequited love, which perhaps were themes still left over from the last record.”

The same site reports that working titles include 'When I Disappear', 'Precious Games', 'Sweet Troubled Soul', 'Born in a Fleamarket' and 'Angela'.

HAHAHA. NYC geniuses? This must be a different Stellastar than the one i know of, who are a shite Pixies/Supergrass ripoff band who think having art-school hair makes up for songs or talent. Nope, same band.

.....'art school hair' hey......

.......maybe that would be the drummer with the shaved head. or maybe shawn with his centre-parting. yep, very 'art school'. if you don't actually know what they look like, don't bother guessing.

You're in the minority cracked. This band is great, anyone who didn't like the insanity of My Coco needs a lobotomy.

My Coco = tune
rest of album = patchy
But yes, they probably deserve to be bigger than franz, although their pixies ripping-off does grate at times

That would be the singer, who looks like a retarded five year old cut his hair with safety scissors. Ive had the displeaseure of seeing them live and on the streets of NY, aside from the fact that theres a picture right there. Try again, kid.

So that we can have the same mental capacity as the people who liked it?

'there's a picture right there' - exactly, and they look like a bunch of average people, miles away from the 'art school' hair cuts you've obviously seen them have on the street of NY.
