ISLANDS is a concept album. We have worked on a concept which marks the story of a main character from birth to the end of his life. Working music in those terms can be harder, but at the same time more rewarding as you figure out mayor turning points in the character's life. We've been influenced by so much instrumental and soundtrack music that it only makes sense for us to merge Shoegaze into that to create ISLANDS.
Kids Are Astronauts is only the first chapter of the story.

ISLANDS es un álbum conceptual. Hemos creado en un concepto que marca la historia de un personaje principal desde el nacimiento hasta el final de su vida. Trabajar música en esos términos puede ser más difícil, pero al mismo tiempo más gratificante al determinar puntos importantes en la vida del personaje. Hemos sido influenciados por tanta música instrumental y bandas sonoras que sólo hace sentido para nosotros mezclar el Shoegaze con esos conceptos para crear ISLANDS.
Kids Are Astronauts es solo el primer capitulo de la historia.

LYRICS:
KIDS ARE ASTRONAUTS
Take me out to space,
Where I'm floating,
Beside you.
Our ship has flown away,
There's no turning back,
No time to waste.
A new home awaits,
Silver rockets,
Will carve the way.
Shards of migrane greys,
Through the cosmos,
The fading trails.
We're coming down, down, down.
We're coming down, down, down
The sun is down,
Walk with me,
You won't get burned.
The sun is down,
Come join me,
Don't be afraid.
I know why you're sinking,
It's your dreams they faded.
Tell me why you're leaving,
Don't you walk away.
Lyrics by Saul Robles
DRONES
Hear the sun at night,
I can't wait for the new day.
Hear my drunken faith,
Rising again through the pain.
Hear the song at night,
I can't wait for the new day.

Slower Now was one of the first shoegaze songs i ever discovered on my own. I adore all Star Horses songs, but because of that this single in particular is always going to have a special place in my heart. fisk-guden

One of my favorite groups to have ever existed, dreampop / shoegaze at its best. Best listened to with headphones in a location where no one can bother you. Surrealistic H. Sapiens
