STELLAR TRANSMISSION NOW AVAILABLE!

About Me

Our debut album, Stellar Transmission, is now available! Produced by Chris Manning (Guster, Third Eye Blind, Minipop, 20 Minute Loop) and recorded at the legendary Plant Studios in Sausalito, CA, Stellar Transmission features Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Beck, Jellyfish, Imperial Drag, Moog Cookbook), members of local rock band American Drag, and musicians from the San Francisco Symphony. It's the result of three years of hard work, and we're excited to finally share it with you.

"I have listened to this album four times in the last week or so and I find something new that I missed before but, more importantly, to enjoy. Its well-crafted melodic mosaics and richly textured arrangements glide, shine and pulse confidently with a life of their own. This is the kind of music that gives music fans hope that artists are trying to push the boundaries of making more than just a mediocre album. From beginning to end, Stellar Transmission is filled with interesting melodic interpretations and slow-building, yet immediate eruptions of delicate harmonies. Cool? You bet! The influences are hard to pin down and none really harken strongly to the reference points: no doubt, though – it’s grounded in a distinct love of baroque British pop of the last 30/40 years. Aprilsrain make challenging and sophisticated music that is as entertaining as it is creative." - Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame Records
