Under Shooting Stars

about

Best Kept Secret is kind enough to release our tape: Pillows Out of Sweaters "in their words, “it's like eating vanilla ice cream in your dark living room in the middle of the night...wearing your robe and your bedroom slippers...suddenly, you realize you're missing something or someone...and then you start humming a song”. To put it my way, Sid and Lei write the most candid and heartfelt bedroom pop that I have heard in a while." You can buy it from Indiepages ^_^ April 15, 2005 Alte Recensioni Poi di troppa cuteness si può anche morire, ma per il momento a Sid e Lei la cosa non sembra importare. From the italian zine, indiepop.it: March 7, 2005 A tape review Although the feeling of many of the songs is overtly cutesy bedroom pop, the Shmat could not help but feel happy listening to this tape by Under Shooting Stars. He had already heard one of their songs "Clouds Upon Clouds" from the excellent Humblebee compilation "Hey Where Did The Summer Go!" On their Pillows Out Of Sweaters cassette tape from Best Kept Secret, Sid and Lei alternate singing duties on these 7 intimate, hummable tunes. But lest you think these are lifeless bedroom ditties, they endeavor to make the songs sweetly upbeat with bouncy drum machine beats and dreamy, slightly-out-of-tune electric guitars. "Sweater Weather" has a beat like an old Nintendo game machine along with whispered vocals by Lei. "Heart Shaped Poems" could be a Galaxie 500 song if you replaced Damon with a Boss Dr. Rhythm Sectio
