Synopsis

Album Description
This group makes spirited and catchy songs in the grand tradition of classic British folk rockers Pentangle and John and Beverly Martyn straight on up through the halcyon days of early 4AD Records. On their debut, the diverse Manchester three-piece brings to bear much of the lively attitude, passion, and rain of the old textile city they've come to call home for the last several years. The result is a collection of eleven songs, at once earthen and elevated, that are given added mood and flavor by the charcoal vocals of French chanteuse Helene Gautier.

CD Reviews

Starless are More than A King Crimson Album
R. T. Duprey | CA | 12/02/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I went through much hullabaloo to acquire this album, on the strength of a review in Harp.



All I can say is that this album is quite worth the effort.



It's old-school folk at it's best: unassuming, quiet, and affecting. To me it's somewhere in between Led Zeppelin's quiter moments and Portishead, at times.



But that doesn't mean the album isn't playful. The first track has videogame and cartoon incidental noise, so that Yogi Bear is running for his picanic basket all over the song.



In sum, there isn't that much I can say except that this album is perfect for a rainy day in November or a sunny day in April. It's got jazz, electronic experiments, old school folk, and it still manages to cohere into a laid back and original sound.



Wonderful. One of my top for 2006."
