the hanging stars a new kind of sky

​The Hanging Stars (from the album A New Kind of Sky available on Crimson Crow Records)
The Hanging Stars shine brightly as they strum classic California Country influences and harmonies on their recent release, A New Kind of Sky. The London, England band touch their songs with musical memories though the Cosmic Country Folk skin that The Hanging Stars wear on A New Kind of Skyputs them on equal footing with musical ancestors who rode alongside Gram’s truckers, kickers, and cowboy angels into legend.  A blend of Eastern, Tex-Mex,  Country & Western psychedelic sunshine doses the pounding drums of “Three Rolling Hills” as rolling rhythms draw a landscape under the A New Kind of Sky title track and “Lonely Rivers” rows on a strong current of thick, guitar slashes and dreamy steel guitar waves.
 
Honoring homeland Roots, The Hanging Stars brighten “I’ve Seen Summer (in Her Eyes)” with jangly English Folk Rock and polish the Folk Pop of “(Song for) Fred Neil” with distinctly UK musical shading as harmonies open A New Kind of Sky, giving first cut “Choir of Criers” an expansive western U.S. breadth. As the musical backing of A New Kind of Sky shapeshifts, The Hanging Stars provide a common ground with a brand of Americana that claims globe-spanning bloodlines within one sound. A New Kind of Sky puts a piano march into place for the Brit-Pop assurances of “I Will Please You” as swamp mist weaves among the broken melodies warbling under “I Was a Stone” and desert dust covers the trance rhythms of “I Woke Up in July” while The Hanging Stars paint Alt Country on the wagons circling “Heavy Blue”.
