New My Majestic Star Album Released

August 26th, 2008

Hidden Shoal Recordings today announced the release of the sophomore album by Australian ambient-rock artist My Majestic Star. Expanding upon the emotionally-stirring instrumental palette of the critically praised debut album Ideas Are The Answer and the stunning follow-up EP Fining, Too Late, The Day immerses the listener in its warm, enveloping drones, woven guitars and shoegazing songcraft for 45 minutes of sonic wonder. While so many albums in this area deliberately evoke wide-open vistas and apocalyptic atmospheres, Too Late, The Day is more of an exercise in intimacy and engagement.

“My Majestic Star’s songs reach for the sky like all the best post-rock but you never get the sense he’s trying to blow your face off… Mason steers well clear of obvious influences. He manages to make music from relative isolation that like a lot of absolutely solo work tends towards the quiet and wounded… Ideas Are the Answer is optimistic from the title on down; this a record that respects and honors our melancholy without ever falling for the fallacy that it’s a permanent state of affairs” – Stylus Magazine on Ideas Are The Answer

Too Late, The Day is available now on CD and in digital format. Visit the HSR Store for all availability information.
