New York hailing stellastarr* certainly wear their influences on their sleeves, rejecting the cool of garage for a more retro eighties bent.

Their new single starts very Blondie, versing into a hint of The Associates crossed with Talking Heads, chorusing on a note of The Cure. No messing with genres here.

My Coco is a pleasant amble in the past, the lyrics playing with love lost are sweet and Shaun Christiansen's yelping vocal pleases with a pure pop that enjoys itself. They're just completing a sell out tour of the UK, so hope and expect to hear more.
