Jason Martin's vocals are still hushed as always but the production on this album seems top notch. My Island is yet another evolution in the Starflyer sound.

Nevertheless, Leave Here A Stranger still ranks as one of my Top Ten Desert Island Albums of All Time - the album's austere beauty stands up as a rarity amongst the unrelenting flood of feedback loops that typically defines shoegazing indie rock.
(I don't count Ghosts of the Past since it felt more like a compilation of eps--but that release is also interesting).
No other band has released so many good albums one after another, I mean almost every year.
It reminds me a bit of My Island.
I've been listening Jason Martin's words & music since Gold, having found that gem in the midst of the tumult that was High School. Early releases like "Silver" and "Gold", Starflyer 59 was into a wall of guitar sound like many shoegaze bands of the early nineties.
Tracklisting Le Vainqueur (Radio Edit), When No One Calls (It Will Be Alright), The Starflyer … Original response to the album was generally negative.

If you've never heard starflyer 59 then you need to get the silver album first or get Everybody Makes Mistakes. I Am the Portuguese Blues was not a true follow-up to Old, but instead was a set of older songs that Jason Martin had written for a follow-up album to Americana. For those of you who have followed Jason Martin's musical metamorphosis, this album will not disappoint.

It saw the band's sound continue to soften.
The production is spot on, the music is fun & creative, with a pint of aggression that leaves you smiling because you get the sense that Martin gets it.
Two great starflyer 59 albums. If you know nothing about this band, this may be a good place to start, but so would albums, The Fashion Focus, Leave Here A Stranger and Old.

High tensions in the studio during the recoding of the album led Campuzano to leave the band before it began touring to support the new album.
+ No Import Fees Deposit & $10.98 Shipping to France A limited edition, live EP called "Plugged" was released by Velvet Blue Music. While Martin has written all of Starflyer 59's songs, the band has included a number of different musicians over the years, including Jeff Cloud, Richard Swift, Frank Lenz and Josh Dooley.
Don't misunderstand there's some great music here and if you really feel inclined to buy it then go for it but be warned that the album is more geared towards fans.
"Nice Guy", "My Island", "I Win" are all killer.
I made this as a fan of the band, I hope you like it! Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts Tracks 2-4 were included in the extended edition of Gold. :)
However, the music of Old was still significantly softer than the band's early work.
