Shimmering Stars: Bedrooms of the Nation (2014)

Bedrooms of the Nation, the second full-length album from Vancouver’s Shimmering Stars, was recorded by the band at the Garage Mahal in Kamloops, mixed by legendary Vancouver engineer Colin Stewart, and mastered by Dan Emery at Black Matter Mastering in Nashville, TN. Lying at the intersection of timeless pop, experimental soundscapes and punk sensibilities, Bedrooms of the Nation will be released digitally on August 13th in Canada and will be released on Almost Musique in Europe. Exploring themes of social breakdown, anomie, dislocation, and the aspiration to find meaning in a culture of violent individualism; the album can be at times disarmingly bleak, but leaves room for optimism, particularly in closing number “I Found Love.”

Shimmering Stars: When I see you again (Single, 2012)

"Aptly named dreampoppers Shimmering Stars have a new seven-inch looming, following a session in a recording studio with producer Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Destroyer). The result is Ghosts Past, which will be out in Europe on March 5 via Almost Musique.In addition to two original tracks, the seven-inch includes a cover of Songs: Ohia's "Hold on Magnolia." Fittingly, 10 percent of the profits from each copy sold will go towards Jason Molina's medical fund, which aims to help the Songs: Ohia mastermind overcome his recent personal struggles.In a statement, Shimmering Stars leader Rory McClure said of the donation, "It's not a huge amount of money but we hope that our humble offering will help Jason on his road to recovery, which we are certain he will find. It's fitting that 'Hold on Magnolia' is a song about redemption."Listen to or download an original song from the 7" When I see You Again, here" (soundsxp.com)
