Tangled Star‘s most recent EP, the gorgeous Our Man In Eden Hill has been selected as a featured release over at the excellent Delusions of Adequacy (DOA) music zine along with a glowing review.
“The band possesses the distinct knack of creating catchy pop songs that hit just the right elements to keep a listener tuned in for a long time. Their latest EP, Our Man in Eden Hill, is a fine reminder of the band’s ability to craft smart, affecting music…. A song like “The Skaters” is evenly balanced with a reflective piano and Hallsworth’s gentle vocals. It’s the kind of song that starts out pleasant enough but can touch your heart in many ways. The sounds recall some of Radiohead’s better chords and progressions (especially the ending) and the music ends up being one of the EP’s highlights because of it….Hallsworth’s voice is reminiscent of Stephen Malkmus but he carries his own distinct timber and when the music swells, so does his voice. He is able to reach high levels of emotion and intensity while still sounding in control… This is a quiet and serene listen, one that can touch people on different levels…” – Delusions of Adequacy
The EP is available now for digital download from the HSR Store (where it can also be previewed in full) as well as all good digital retailers. The EP will also see re-issue on CD with the next month so stay tuned for details.
