Pale Stars

"The Pale Stars features Brandt Huseman, one of the founders of The Greenbery Woods and Splitsville member. While the Woods are long gone and Splitsville is busy putting the finishing touches on their next album due in 2006, Brandt Huseman here has joined up with some incredibly talented musicians in Baltimore for unleash The Pale Stars on us all. And Thank The Heavens For That! The 11 perfectly timed, sublimely rhapsodic songs here, evoke warm memories of The Greenberry Woods and, in fact, Huseman says that what he was going for. Evocations and familiar echoes of Squeeze, a more moody-ish Matthew Sweet and Gin Blossom-ish styled choruses and hooks and a bunch of songs that sound like they belong on radio through-out the Western world. Huseman is in confident artistic voice here, interlacing long, launguid, memorable, classic power pop melodies, angelic harmonies and plenty of flavorful guitar licks." - Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame
