After earning 4-star reviews from MOJOThe Times and RnR along with glowing comparisons to David Bowie, Suede and prime ‘70s art rock for their self-titled debut, KillerStar return with the release of their electrifying second album ‘The Afterglow’.

Throughout the album, the core duo - Rob Fleming (vocals, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (drums) - are reunited with the David Bowie band alumni who helped make the KillerStar debut so memorable: Mike Garson (piano), Earl Slick (guitar) and Mark Plati (bass). Backing vocals are provided by The Webb SistersCharley and Hattie, who have previously worked with David GilmourTom Petty and Leonard Cohen. The record also features guest appearances on select tracks from Gerry Leonard (musical director and guitarist for Bowie’s ‘Heathen’ tour), Alfio Annibali (Alex Lifeson’s Envy Of None), Carey Frank (Bruce Springsteen) , Dom Beken from the KillerStar live band (Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets) and Emm Gryner.

‘The Afterglow’ album was written by Rob Fleming with James Sedge, and the duo produced the set alongside Dave Eringa (Manic Street PreachersThe Who) who also mixed the record. It was completed with digital mastering courtesy of Joe La Porta at Sterling Sound and vinyl mastering by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. It was recorded between LondonNew York and Los Angeles during sessions at studios including RAKThe Clubhouse, Strongroom and Dean Street Studios.

Rob says “We were overjoyed at the great reception to our first album, fuelled by that and the energy of our live shows since I set about writing a new set of songs. The songs emerged organically and the record we feel capture the energy of our live performances well. As before it was a joy to have David Bowie band alumni Earl Slick, Mike Garson and Mark Plati throughout the album, joined by Hattie & Charley Webb (aka The Webb Sisters). We feel the album is a natural progression from the first record both in terms of the songwriting and sonically.”
