Return of Blinker The Star
posted January 31, 2013 #
How can I say this without being too overly word? Back in 1999 I loved Blinker the Star's August Everywhere. My expectations sort of ruined the 2003 followup Still In Rome but I never expected the band to disappear for almost ten years. May 2012 the band re-emerged on Bandcamp with the full-length We Draw Lines; a bit of return to form.
Now, they've got another album - Songs from Laniakea Beach that features Lindsey Buckingham, Matt Mahaffey, Kellii Scott, Brad Laner and more. It's very reminiscent of August Everywhere and a much welcomed return from an enjoyable band. These songs likely date back as far as 2000 but they're still top notch.
