STARRY SKIES have released "Small Wonders" (Album 2022) via Fox Star Records
[2022-08-20]
Glasgow-based Starry Skies have released their fourth studio album "Small Wonders" via Fox Star Records, following their long-player "Do It With Love" (2020). With a brilliant mix of classic rock, power pop and folk pop, the band's new crowdfunded album presents an array of shimmering delights.
Shaped by personal encounters with music icons Nina Simone, Iggy Pop and Chuck Berry, Warren McIntyre (a.k.a. Warren Starry Sky) founded the band in 2014 to encourage the proliferation of positive, hopeful music. Today, Starry Skies is made up of McIntyre, Jenny Lunan, Heather Phillips, Sophie Pragnell, Johnny Rooney and Adam Scott, who come from various parts of Scotland, England and Australia. Over the years, they have supported Snow Patrol, Belle and Sebastian, The Vaselines and Teenage Fanclub.
Ahead of the album, the band presented lead track 'Smile Through The Dark' and sonic goodness, hope, beauty and kindness in earlier-released singles 'Kindhearted People' and 'Spitfire Susie'. The latter tells the story of a local hero and force of nature Miss Susie Ross, who fixed spitfires during the war and taught thousands of children in the years afterward. She and Warren became friends and he wrote the song in her honour.
"Small Wonders" is available via Bandcamp, CD and sky-blue vinyl. Distributed through Proper Distribution in the UK and Redeye in the USA, the record can be ordered from record shops or purchased directly from Last Night From Glasgow.
