From the soggy Pacific Northwest.

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Deep from the soggy, damp, Northwest comes Red Stars Theory, a little band staring James (who was in Built to Spill for a while and also Lync) and Jeremiah (who was in Modest Mouse, Satisfact, and now the Vells) and two other boys. If you've heard Modest Mouse, you might know what to expect, but this time around think slower and hazy. Dreamy guitar with maybe alternate tunings and or open chords, heavy drumming, deep moving bass, and an atmosphere like getting turned down by your high school sweetheart in the heaviest rainstorm of the year. This is the perfect record to crash to after a long day or the perfect record to keep you alive in the darkest days. You'll love it."
