Four Stars, Of Course

"On their third release We Are All Beautiful People, these San Francisco pop eclectics meld quirk to melody like XTC circa Mummer. They yelp ("Wire"), they pop ("How It Goes") , they drone like BowieEno on a midnight bender ("There Was a River"), but, most often, they yearn for love (the exquisite laments "I Got Connected", "Back in France" and "Only Star"). Carlos Foster's five piece are miniaturists by design, with considerable talents and open hearts. His adenoidal register could keep you away, but don't let it. Future pop now."

It Is All Beautiful Music

"... I went and ordered the full album. We Are All Beautiful People is the third full-length recording from San Francisco-based For Stars. The music I've heard from the album ranges from classic lo-fi indie - alternate-rock/pop. Loopy tunes of simple, innocent wisdom to slow, gloomy rock to upbeat, optimistic high-pitched singing vocals come out lazy, warbly and off-key but they are an appropriate complement to the often dreamy, spacious music. For setting an introspective mood and presenting an unusual perspective on life, love and death, We Are All Beautiful People really is ... all beautiful music!"

"If the Pied Piper were alive today he would sing the lyrics of For Stars songs. Profound, meaningful, human, and sensible the words behind For Stars music are enough to keep a cold day warm."
