New York City’s Stargazy will be releasing their second EP "The Fashion" on May 27, and currently previews two tracks from that record on Soundcloud. “Golden Hour” (streaming) soars with utopian nostalgia, creating a sonic dreamscape that deftly fuses 80’s era romanticism with the 90’s penchant for reverberated shimmer. A modernized hybrid sound that takes the drama of Tears For Fears and incorporates elements more associated with a band like Galaxie 500. “The Fashion” builds around quickly strummed acoustic guitar, adding layers of extended electric notes and soaring passionate vocals. Scathing lyrics accuse how “you got the soul to be what’s in fashion, but your soul’s for sale.” Their next show is April 30th at Baby’s All Right, followed by their EP Release show on May 16th at Rough Trade. – Dave Cromwell
