The thirteen tracks on this album combine the spirit of pure rock 'n roll and the catchy appeal of pop with the edginess of punk and new wave.

THE ONE TRUE DEAD ANGEL (USA), MARCH 09



Proches musicalement des travaux récents de Logh, ils clament un amour intact pour des chansons abordables et en même temps chargées de mélancolie lourde (la reprise du déjà connu « Elusive Ways »).

OBSKURE (FRANCE), APRIL 09



Deadstar is a repository for all the emotions we don't know how to put into words while they fester inside.

ETHERIZED (USA), FEBRUARY 09



Parfois on dirait presque un album posthume de DRIVE BLIND, voir des chutes de studio de POLICY OF 3 et HAL AL SHEDAD boeuffant ensemble. Ouais. Et c’est aussi bon

RECORDS REVIEWERS ARE PRETENTIOUS ASSHOLES (FRANCE), MARCH 2009



This stirring collaboration between the acclaimed post-punk producer and the London-based trio is exactly the sonic assault Harte fans anticipate, as flashes of inspired song craft punctuate “Seven Rays of the Sun.”

ANTI MUSIC (USA), APRIL 09



.it becomes the album where the whole is greater than

the sum of its parts. Almost unique, truly accessible, immensely enjoyable and very long-lasting pleasure.

DEAD EARNEST (UK), APRIL 09



Dischordance seems to be the name of Heat From A Dead Stars’ game. Imagine Bleach-era Nirvana playing Mission Of Burmas’ songs on Fugazis’ instruments and you might have something of a sense of their particular brand of noise.

SUBBA-CULTCHA (UK), MARCH 09



Slackers, loose messy grungy, sometimes energetic, sometimes moody, London slackers. Searching for their nirvana out there in the grungy space or something like that.

ORGANART (UK), FEBRUARY 09

"Slackers, loose messy grungy, sometimes energetic, sometimes

moody, London slackers. Searching for their nirvana out there in the

grungy space."



Sean / Organart



"Seven Rays of the Sun is the latest in a slow but steady trickle of releases from Boston label Ace of Hearts - possibly best known for Mission of Burma records in the early 80s.



I reviewed Heat from a Deadstar's Lighthouse EP in our July/August issue last year, and this full-length is unquestionably continuing to fuck with my mind. The only familiar track is "Elusive Ways." The version on this record is a lot cleaner-sounding and catches the ear with a sort of despairing Nirvana vocal melody. I have a feeling that within a few more listens I'll be mumbling half-remembered words under my breath and staring into space.



This album runs all over the place - from some sort of twisted punk to light almost relaxing music with ample pieces of dissonance, yelling, strange guitar sounds, and slowly developing minimalist structures. I can only imagine that this trio writes in a horrible mood in a basement somewhere most of the time. On the plus side, it's hard to ever pin Deadstar down to a genre or set of influences - they're always shifting, and something about them always focuses on a groove and a downward gaze. Deadstar is a repository for all the emotions we don't know how to put into words while they fester inside. "
