Stellastarr is an art rock hybrid with an engaging
sound that fuses the best elements of 80s pop with a modern feel and
intelligent songwriting. Their songs range from energetic pop
compositions to somber ballads with edgy guitars, mournful loops, and
hushed vocals from the moody Shawn Christensen.
Fans of 80s pop will feel right at home with Stellastarr's music
while others might respond to their flare for bare emotion and dynamic
instrumentation. Stellastarr's haunting melodies are fueled by an
obvious love of classic new wave but, like the best of the Art Rock
movement, they have an eclectic sound that changes for each song and
yet remains cohesive enough for fans to say "That sounds like
Stellastarr." Stellastarr is relatively new in the scene but they have
already made a big impression on a genre too often plagued by a lack of
inventiveness.
