The Pale Stars - s/t (Splitsville) |
The Pale Stars is a side project of Brandt Huseman, one of the founders of The Greenbery Woods and Splitsville member. While the Woods are long gone and Splitsville is busy putting the finishing touches on their next album due in 2006, Brandt Huseman here has joined up with some incredibly talented
musicians in Baltimore for unleash The Pale Stars on us all. And Thank The
Heavens For That! The 11 perfectly timed, sublimely rhapsodic songs here,
evoke warm memories of The Greenberry Woods and, in fact, Huseman says that what he was going for. Evocations and familiar echoes of Squeeze, a more moody-ish Matthew Sweet and Gin Blossom-ish styled choruses and hooks and a bunch of songs that sound like they belong on radio through-out the Western world. Huseman is in confident artistic voice here, interlacing long, launguid memorable, classic power pop melodies, angelic harmonies(a Matt and Brandt Huseman staple) and plenty of flavorful guitar licks.

| these pale stars really shine | |
| Reviewer: edward higgins | | this cd was recommended to me by the lovely marlene who works at not lame and
makes buying cd's there such a pleasant experience.
this is a remarkable piece of music that just flows from your speakers and after the
40 minutes of music is over you realize it went much too quickly.
this is definitely one of the best cd's i've heard in a long time.
make it a point to obtain this, especially if you were a fan of the late, great splitsville.
5 big stars for these pale stars and i can only hope there will be more product from them.
to quote mr. bodeen; big time extremely highly recommended! |

| Brilliance shinning in The Pale Stars | |
| Reviewer: David Fink | | Admittedly, I am a huge fan of the Brothers Huseman both as musicians and humans in general. With that bias aside, The Pale Stars are a pure joy. It's a treat to have Brandt out from behind the drum kit. He, along with Nat, Paul and Jeff, has created a consistant ear pleaser from start to finish. Not a flat spot to be found. If you are a lover of all that there is to love about pop music you will enjoy every second of this CD. Buy it, play it, know it, LOVE IT! You won't regret it. |
