This album is absolutely amazing! It is so incredibly mello and just down right beautiful. The songs are simple stripped down, but there is more there then what I have heard from most artists lately. It gives me a soft modest mouse, or a mazzy star "fade into you" vibe but with a male vocalist of course. Amazing. Just buy it!

A great album with plenty to cheer about. Much like Neil Young and even Wilco for that matter. A friend of mine e mailed me to listen to this album and I'm very glad she did. I enjoyed it very much. Hats off to Carlos Forster and his incredible song writing abilities. This band should be on a major label quick.

A great album to open a bottle of wine, light the fire, and relax to. The most amazing music I've heard in quite some time. This is a must buy. Can't wait for album number two.

the for stars, led by singer/songwriter carlos forster, really impressed me with their first release. i enjoyed other releases on the future farmer recording label, but this is the labels best so for. the music is sparse, haunting, and meloncholy, with a focus on carlos' amazing falsetto range. fans have been calling it california feel-bad music. if you cross the beach boys, radiohead, jonathan richman, and a room full of california surfers and punk rockers, you can almost hear the sound

Another boy with a pretty voice. This time, however, the music just doesn't hold up. Are they purposely trying to make songs without choruses? If so, bravo, they've succeeded. The lyrics are also somewhat amateurish and sophomoric. "playing at your party with all the freaky people." Sure whatever you say. There are so many people, past and present, who have done a better job at this type of music. Spend your money on Elliot Smith, Nick Drake, Skip Spence, Graham Parsons, Will Oldham or even John Denver for that matter. The For Stars may hit the high notes, but they miss the mark.
