KillerStar Black Vinyl LP Album (Free Shipping for UK)
★★★★ Mojo ★★★★ The Times ★★★★ RnR
Named "One of the 12 most exciting acts in the world today' by Q magazine
KillerStar’s self-titled debut album weaves modern and classic rock into a distinct sound that features sophisticated harmonies, catchy hooks and elements of art rock. The album comprises memorable songs that blend crunchy guitars with textured synths, hook-laden vocals and ethereal harmonies.
The band , led by Rob Fleming (vocals, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (drums), have joined forces with musicians and trusted collaborators from David Bowie’s band: Mike Garson on piano, Earl Slick and Mark Plati on guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey and Tim Lefebvre on bass, Emm Gryner on backing vocals, and Donny McCaslin on saxophone.Collectively, the KillerStar album’s guest musicians have contributed to almost every era of Bowie’s vast discography, from the landmark ‘Aladdin Sane’ to the final goodbye of ‘Blackstar’.
Although, while the KillerStar name references one of Bowie’s relatively deeper cuts, the album really doesn’t feel like an homage to The Thin White Duke. And that’s simply because it was never intended to be one. Rob and James wrote the songs and had recorded the first KillerStar demos independently, without any advance planning on who else would be involved.
