Trembling Blue Stars-The Last Holy Writer-2007-SAW
Release group SAW continues in their recent growth of activity and brings us a new album The Last Holy Writer from British indie band Trembling Blue Stars. This music group already released more than 8 albums, but they are not somehow extremely well-known. May be it’s caused by the style of music they produce, which is few steps away from the mainstream production.
“The last holy writer” is the sixth album by TREMBLING BLUE STARS, thesecond one released worldwide through Elefant Records. This album is dark,intimate, melancholic and cloudy, but every now and then there are rays ofsunshine coming through the clouds, riding sunny melodic breezes. SLOWDIVEand THE CURE are still good references for this music, but they are toolimited to describe the unique sound of TREMBLING BLUE STARS, a sound that’sready to mingle melodic, sensitive pop with many electronic sounds,distortions, noises, static and even field recordings that envelope thesongs with a nostalgic halo.
On one song, percussion is provided byfootsteps on dry branches and shingles, and on another song a recording of dawn on the Romney Marsh provides the backdrop. THE RAIN PARADE, MAZZY STAR and GALAXIE 500 come up here and there: on this album there’s folk, andthere’s electronica and 80’s influences and avant country and, of course,there’s the best pop music you can hear. There’s no doubt you will fall inlove again with Bobby Wratten’s music. They have hit the target again.
Trembling Blue Stars are a London-based twee pop band that currently includes members Robert Wratten and Beth ArzyAberdeen until they split up in 2005). Begun as a side project, Trembling Blue Stars became Wratten’s main band when Northern Picture Library broke up. Wratten took the name of his band from The Story of O by Pauline Réage. The Stars are characterized by slow songs with jangly guitars and introspective, painful lyrics.

Just to much PATHOS for me….emo….emo….emo
lol.. these twee pop fools are not ‘emo’.. clikatat ikatowi was ‘emo’. jawbreaker was ‘emo’…
Oh, anything to do with emotions, emotions and more emotions is emo to me…. Joy division …. Love Will Tear Us Apart way to much pathos.
All i can say is why?
With that logic, everything but the encyclopedia is emo.
That said, wheres a torrent? I’d like to check this band out.
Hi,
I’m sorry to post this message here but i didn’t find an other option….in fact I have a suggestion, I think there is a place for a new category in music wich is “Concert dvdrip” where we would find publication of releases of live music…
by the way, thank you for the great job you’re doing.
Who?
Is that Chris Tarrant on the right of the picture ?
samiro, i think we are fine with current categories, we do not specialize in music releases, so some new album posted from time to time will be enough for now…
how are these guys…..similar to the killers, bloc party, arcade fire???
never heard of them..
wow!!
1st time i have ever seen any decent music on this site.
more please!!!!!
Still no torrent? Damn.
how about posting only available torrents?
a post without a torrent link is of no use here imho.
Where is this fine ass music.. Come on already…..
Congratulations to the kid who learned a new word. Sadly there’s not much “PATHOS” on our new record, but lovely songs about music, starlings and drag queens.
If you would like to have a sneaky listen, please visit our myspace page (www.myspace.com/tremblingbluestars)and enjoy the lack of “PATHOS” and “EMO”.
P.S. That photo is horrid and very old. I’m much fatter now and Harvey (Chris Tarrant?)is no longer in the band, but on myspace as well with his lovely pop tunes.
Thanks wonemllik
Many thanks
Beth TBS
