Starlet

Reviews

Stay On My Side (CD) Parasol
This is a very different sounding Starlet to the band last heard on From The One You Left Behind. Gone are the playful melodies, riffing bass lines, and occasional bursts of rock guitar that made their debut such a wonderfully unpredictable record. In their place is restrained acoustic pop more reminiscent of Belle and Sebastian, with the single Diary & Herself sounding more like If You're Feeling Sinister era Belle and Sebastian than even Belle and Sebastian do these days. Only on the more up tempo In The Disco do Starlet begin to sound like their better known compatriates the Acid House Kings, also of the ex-Red Sleeping Beauty stable.
