For:Fans of indie rock, post-punk revival and 80s-influenced new wave.

 Released quietly last year and introduced by a simply wonderful cover according to the writer, an irresistible title ("Harmonies For The Haunted"), and a song ("The Diver") among the best emotional experiences of the last five years, the debut of Stellastarr* (New York City, U.S.A.) is a mix of punk, new wave, art-rock, epic ballads, and romantic pessimism.
