With titles like 'PCB' and 'Cables' you would assume that Stellar have some unearthly fixation with DIY electronics, but this doesn't quite translate into the huge, ambient soundscapes my wetted lips were slavering for. What you do get, however, is spacious, wirey guitar pop, heavy on mood and with a nice pervaiding aura of melancholy to cuddle up to.
Distinctive, trip-hoppy female vocals compliment the jazz-tinged rhythms, making this a polished offering, with perhaps a hint of St.Etienne in there somewhere. All-in-all a different and rather intriguing demo, that manages to combine the atmosphere with pop dynamics. Good stuff.
