The Farstar has released two full length albums, one in 2003 and one in 2012. That’s quite a bit apart. I wonder what the story is on that situation. They state influences from Sunny Day Real Estate, The Smiths, Radiohead, The Cure, Minus The Bear, and My Bloody Valentine. I can see most of those, although I’m seeing The Farstar as quite a bit less like to jade me as quickly as most of those bands. I feel like I could hang out with these guys and love to watch them play.

I’m going to focus on their 2012 full length album, “God Be With You, Heaven Knows The Devil Is”. My favorite track is probably the very first one. It’s called “Airtight”, and it’s catchy and emotional. He says he doesn’t believe in love at one point. He puts a condition on it, but anytime you say something like that, it’s a pretty strong statement. There’s a really great synth after all the long vocal segments, and all the rhythm instruments keep the song really focused for the whole four and a half minutes. It’s even got a sweet guitar solo.
