Trembling Blue Stars - Seven Autumn Flowers

English cult faves Trembling Blue Stars create a gorgeously melancholy tunes that combine jangly guitars new wave-style electronics and often lush orchestrations with intensely personal deeply romantic lyrics from vocalist-guitarist Bobby Wratten. The album at time recalls the pastoral folk-rock of Nick Drake and the confessional intimacy of Joni Mitchell's BLUE period, yet it's sound remains totally contemporary Fans of the quieter side of Yo La Tengo and of the yearning, unrequited-love songs of the Postal Service will surely relate. This is their first album of all-new material in two years and it's Bar None debut. Since 1997, the band has garnered a loyal international following that has eagerly awaited each of it's four previous releases. SEVEN AUTUMN FLOWERS is the ideal soundtrack for falling in love or making up after breaking up, the perfect warm accompaniment for intimate evening in and languid morning-after.
