Search - :: Aiming Too High

Debut Full-length Album of pop gems from Califoria's folk-rock darlings--Mellow, sassy and sweet songs to die for.
After haunting Long Beach and Los Angeles for five years, the Johnny Starlings sought out the seclusion of their ancestral roost on Californias Central Coast to woodshed some new songs and finish their first full-length record. You see before you that new record, featuring Jody Mulgrew on vocals and guitars, Travis Harms on bass, Yohei Shikano on guitar and vocals, and Jennings Jacobsen on drums as well as a full complement of some of the best performers and session players around.

Like their live performances, the new record highlights the Johnny Starlings Jazz, Roots and Folk hooks, clever lyrics and crafted vocals, with a few surprises for old and new fans alike. Under the influence of the likes of Lucinda Williams, Sam Cooke, and Bob Dylan, the Starlings sound is both familiar, comforting and a welcome breath of fresh air.
