New Crushed Stars - Gossamer Days

The third album from Todd Gaureau's Crushed Stars project is entitled Gossamer Days, and you won't find a more truthfully evocative Artist - Title pairing, anywhere. Listening to, say, the opening track "Spies," is a little like watching celestial bodies shooting up a hazy night sky, stardust in slow-mo. Like a less enunciated Red House Painters. "Life Until Now," meanwhile, introduces slightly more insistent snares and hi-hats, but by verse two that's milk-coated with warmed, plinking keyboard patterns and texturizing, rising guitars, keeping everything ... very ... dreamy. Actually the plaintive, gazing vibe inspired an interoffice chat about how so much of the new music we've been digging is coming up lullaby-style of late. It's not everything, natch (hello, Los Campesinos!) but ... are the good times over? Regardless, if the ADHD respite sounds like this, sign us up.
