    These songs, and others such as “UFO” are pretty much straight indie tracks, but it’s when they utilise electronics that Stars Are Our Home really comes alive.

    The album has been patiently developed and refined over the last few years and it shows.

    Overall, Stars Are Our Home is a delightfully mixed bag that does rare justice to the term 'supergroup'.

    They're using a musical language they helped define to make more music. And they are still blurring lines and pushing boundaries. [Nov-Dec 2013, p.86]

    The result is slightly overlong and occasionally repetitive, but it’s also a determined sounding reappraisal of the abilities of the three musicians and also an album that could slide unnoticed into the myriad of Indie releases of the last decade, raising only one or two significant ripples as it does so.

    There’s been a hope that he’d one day return to his dream-pop roots. Stars Are Our Home isn’t that, but there are shades of his past on the twinkling, self-titled opening track and ‘(I Don’t Mean To) Wonder.'

    Somewhat erratic, yet frequently satisfying. [Dec 2013, p.65]

    It's a pretty indulgent affair (Halstead has acknowledged this) with most songs clocking in close to or exceeding the five minute mark; the last couple of tracks are disposable.

    It's a thrillingly bright and shiny noise pop album that is a positive addition to all the participants' already impressive résumés.
