Shimmering Stars - Sent From The Future To Rekindle The Past


We're hardly in a drought when it comes to music circling the dream-pop ilk, or any other genre for that matter. One a near-minute basis, labels are being crafted by musicians and band's who are creating a variety of melodies and swoons that splice classifications into pieces.

But innovation and new ideas will always be welcomed. So that's irrelevant.

Hailing from Vancouver, Shimmering Stars create the sort of spacey pop that Memory Tapes are known for, throwing in a little dreamy Cults and an up bringing embedded in the delightful whitened grins of The Everly Brothers.

They look like extras from Rebel Without A Cause but that pearly preppy preconception is quickly extinguished when their galactic popisms transcend upon the three-chord muffles of their love-lorn hip-shakers. 'I lost my mind, I'm losing you, it's just as well'...They may croon like lost teenage hearts but they have bold souls and even bolder songs.
