Stars of Stage and Screen have cracked the download market. With hundreds of thousands of downloads (you can get their latest LP ‘American Oddity’ for free from their website) it would seem that this NY duo should to be on everyone’s lips. Instead they reside on many hard drives with precious other presence besides. The word in bloggerdom has been distinctly quiet despite the fact that Stars of Stage and Screen seem ripe for wide scale internet adulation. One listen to ‘Silver Memories’ confirms their unique appeal. Lush instrumentation and Daughtry Carstarphen’s soft vocals are a heady combination that reminds one of the dreampop collectives of old or Joy Zipper were they to lay off on all those shimmering side effects. The other half of the band consists of Timothy Roven who has worked with one third of A-ha in a previous incarnation so he certainly knows how to craft a pop song. ‘Dizzy’ is another example of the breathless wonder to be gleaned from this undiscovered seam of precious audio.
