The Star Department - Antlers
In June 2006, The Star Department released their debut EP to much critical acclaim over Ireland, Spain and the US. They also even had an unreleased mini-album titled “Auditions.” After taking a hiatus and changing around their line up, 2010 - 2011 saw the band take tours in the US and Canada, including shows at CMJ and NXNE. Despite having a hit, ‘Embers,’ these Dublin folks have never crossed my ears until today.
However, not much of their old music can be found on the internets these days. No shame, tho. They’ll be releasing their second debut album?, The Pea Green Boat, later this year!
Their serene acoustic pop track ’Antlers’ is the first cut from the new album, mixed by David Brewis from Field Music. These warm-toned sounds linger in the air. They sway me in the way dandelions move with the wind in a grassy meadow. Watching the sunset above us as we lay there, care free.
