Oct 25, 2013These 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.
-
Oct 21, 2013Overall, Stars Are Our Home is a delightfully mixed bag that does rare justice to the term 'supergroup'.
-
Oct 21, 2013The album has been patiently developed and refined over the last few years and it shows.
-
Oct 21, 2013It's a thrillingly bright and shiny noise pop album that is a positive addition to all the participants' already impressive résumés.

Oct 22, 2013It'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.

Jan 16, 2014Ultimately, Black Hearted Brother is a rewarding experiment for Halstead, Van Hoen, and Holton; even though they’re more or less throwing sounds at the wall and seeing what sticks, what we’re left with is pretty impressive.
-
Oct 28, 2013Stars Are Our Home is a passable enough album. It’s just a bit naggingly stale, even for a fan of this sort of thing.
