Forthcoming Album; Dream Again

Listen to the album smapler here - https://soundcloud.com/starling-band...-album-sampler

Biog:

Starling are a four-piece British rock band from London who offer catchy rock riffs blended with a grandeur orchestral sound, are bringing a new shape to the musical landscape. Starling was born in 2008 after friends Dan, Craig, Sol and Vanessa, discovered a shared passion for creating music that doesn't just make you want to move your feet, but also moves your heart. Having toured extensively across the UK playing at venues including London's prestigious O2 Arena and on BBC Radio, the band have already gained a strong fan base who are eagerly awaiting the ground breaking debut single “Dream Again” due to be released in early September which is the title track from the album “Dream Again” set to be released soon thereafter.

The band's decision to produce it themselves has given Starling the musical freedom to develop their own distinctive sound which sets them apart from their 'manufactured' counterparts. They refuse to be put in a mould, instead they continue to forge their own shape and style. This brings a refreshing musical authenticity to Starling that is loved by an ever- growing audience. Starling don't just demand your attention, they take you on a musical journey coloured with passion, grit and emotion. From the catchy guitar-driven rock riffs of 'Lights', to the emotionally tender stripped back acoustic vibe of 'You let me go', the band fill every track with the unique Starling sound.

For Starling, music shouldn't just be played - it should be felt, and they skillfully communicate with a genuineness and emotional intensity that connects with their audience. Tracks such as 'You can feel love' and 'Dream again' have an anthemic feel, with soaring strings and gigantic riffs. This is rock with a heart, it beats loudly with a fresh, exciting vibrancy.

A short interview with Starling's Daniel James, has recently been shared on the bands youtube channel.

It's a great insight into the making of the forthcoming album 'Dream Again'.

Listen Here: -https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...FB0QlrPnOB0guL

Here's an impressive playlist from Daniel James (Lead Vocals).

I love how Simon Green from Bonobo is top of the list with Cirrus, such a big tune!

The whole playlist has some respectable and very talented artists/producers.
(Submotion Orchestra / Squarepusher / Jon Hopkins /Massive Attack - to name a few)

You might want to check out the B side to Dream Again as well by the way.

Slightly different vibe, not quite as edgy as the A side but I still highly rate it.

Thoughts?
