For Stars - In The End
What a strange little song that appears at the same time oddly compelling. Put your focus on the dramatic 2nd half, which shows bravado and a good deal of humanity, something that is distinctly lacking early doors. Carlos Foster led For Stars over 4 albums but it seems the journey ended there. Their last opus ‘…It Falls Apart’ received pretty mediocre reviews but that shouldn’t stop you from falling for ‘In The End’, which features enough invention to illuminate a Thomas Edison convention. Nobody should ever be mocked for welling up when a piece of music moves so if this has that effect let it pour out with the voluminous intensity of a January waterfall. KD
