“In spite of all that we achieved back in the day the feeling of being the underdog has never quite left me.”
Where The Wild Things Grow, the new album–produced by RickMcNamara – is one of the natural wonders of the world. You should be aware i’m including recordings by Nick Drake, Teenage Fanclub and Tim Buckley. Also the Great Wall Of China, The Leaning Tower of Pisa and food delivery services of middle England. So effortlessly beguiling is the album, you might flick through your collection to check whether these songs have been knocking about your house for years. Of course, this is not the case. But Starsailor have been releasing ever-increasingly brilliant records for so long now, that we should be easily forgiven such folly–but herein lies a tale.
Formed in and around Wigan at the start of the millennium, or the end of the last one, depending on which way you want to look at it, and featuring James Walsh (guitar, vocals), James Stelfox (bass),Barry Westhead (keyboards) and Ben Byrne (drums), Starsailor have released five albums to date, including Love Is Herein 2001, Silence Is Easy in 2003, On The Outside in 2005, All The Plans in 2009 and All This Life in 2017.
