Album Description

'Calling All Stars' is the first collection of pop songs in ten years by the keyboardist/lyricist of The Suburbs, a Minneapolis band born of the late 70's/early 80's new-wave/punk scene. Enter the satellite world of 'Calling All Stars', orbiting a distant home planet in search of 'another of my kind'. The dreamy transmissions arriving here are powerful and plush - a ghostly orchestra of sounds, highlighted by twangy guitars, ethereal brass, and darkly expressive vocals. Manifesto Records.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good Stuff.......2002-08-04

Good stuff, but what's a suburb without the Suburbs? But, the band is getting back together!

4 out of 5 stars A Talent That Deserves To Be Recognized.......2002-03-26

4.5 Stars.

One would excpect that since Chan Poling comes from one of Minneapolis's most celebrated bands (The Suburbs) that a solo cd would have been offered up long before this (The Suburbs broke up in 1987, I believe).

Well, the wait was well worth it. This is a finely crafted album. The sound is very lush. It sometimes has somewhat of a loungey feeling to it (and that is not a bad thing at all).
