Crushed Stars

This one kind of snuck up on me, a shimmery, guitar-chiming kind of psychedelic pop that reminds me of the Church (in the echoey, dreamy vocals) and the Orange Peels (in the pretty melancholia of the guitars). Crushed Stars is essentially Todd Gautreau, an Austin-based musician who also makes electronic music in Sonogram. With Crushed Stars, he has now released three albums Gossamer Days, Convalescing in Braille and now In the Bright Rain, out last week on Simulacra Records.
