What makes quartet Stellastarr* more than just another art-school band? Touring with cool bands like The Raveonettes is pretty good. Putting on kickin live shows helps, but what I really enjoy about Stellastarr* is the delicate balance of new wave and Britpop with dark lyrics. “Winter Song” is the perfect example of that juxtaposition and it’s the newly released b-side to their single “Numbers,” off of Civilized. The band just kicked off a string of dates in San Francisco, and since I adored 2005’s Harmonies for the Haunted, I’m checking them out in Silver Lake tomorrow night.
“Winter Song”
