A Lot Of Little Lies For The Sake Of One Big Truth (CDS) Le Grand Magistery
The debut from the highly acclaimed Stars features the same sort of pure pop indie crossover that was pioneered by bands like Saint Etienne, but the Stars seem happier than many of their English counterparts to admit their influences, with this EP featuring a wonderful cover of The Smiths' This Charming Man. The lead song Radio is pleasant enough, but it is What? that outshines the other star turns, despite the fact that it is a demo track written and recorded in a single evening according to the sleeve notes.
