Chris Starling "Sounds like Chris Starling" 2002

The Starlings were an English alternative rock band, formed in 1989, utilising as the main project for New Zealand-born singer/guitarist Chris Sheehan. The group was dissolved by Sheehan around the release of their last EP. Sheehan went on to record two LPs under the name Starlings as the only member and producer/engineer. - wiki

It is not the first nor will it be the last, after going through several projects, “Babyloon Zoo, The Starlings”, Chris Starling launched himself into a solo adventure, and here we have his second work, first bet on Popchild Records. "Sounds like Chris Starling" flees (from the title itself and its cover, a gift from a friend with an artistic instinct) from all comparisons, always hateful, but always useful to mislead the listener. With all this, Chris presents us with a basically acoustic album, where the melodies recover all their splendor and the more recharged effects are forgotten a bit. It really does justice to its cover, simple songs, there are no big hits or big mistakes, just a bunch of innocence and naivety in the form of harmonicas and guitar chords. All the songs follow a pattern of similar structure, a guitar melody, some sampler arrangement, some instrumental accompaniment and his voice worked in the form of choruses and hums. Nick Drake? Well ... it would be to give the New Zealander a role that he has not chosen, but put to the contrary with the false modesty of him ... A personal, intimate album, but not for that complex and difficult to access. - muzikalia
