Brittle Stars

Brittle Stars 10"

Ruined Potential
LIMITED EDITION of 303 copies with 3 individual covers, and 3 colors of vinyl (clear, blue and red). The version we have for sale here is the "Julian" cover, with blue vinyl. After years of waiting, the world is treated to an absolutely beautiful vinyl version of the debut Brittle Stars album. The album has been out of print for some years (previously released on Shelflife Records). The vinyl version comes at the perfect time, as the band is reforming for a one-time-only 10 year anniversary reunion show at the Pop Mayhem festival this May in Gainesville, Florida. For the uninitiated, Brittle Stars took influences from The Sundays, New Order, OMD, My Bloody Valentine, and classic indiepop in general. The resulting mix of sound pretty much reflects that, at least we tend to think so. Previous press release from Shelflife Records: "The debut from Florida's Brittle Starsis definitely not one to miss. Any fan of shoegaze will adore this mix of dreamy female vocals floating upon layers of keyboards and guitars. Noisey enough to please Henry's Dress fans and poppy enough for Stereolab fans. Estelle's gorgeous voice is easily comparable to that of Karolina Club 8, Julia Acid House Kings, Jana Majestic 12 and Annemari Field Mice. Exquisite taste is shown in every melody, delicate precision in every riff... no wonder, since the members of Brittle Stars also run Florida's top pop labels, Clairecords and Claire de Leon."
