Free Friday: Moonlit Sailor – “We Come From Exploding Stars”

Moonlit Sailor recently released their stunning fourth album, We Come From Exploding Stars via Deep Elm Records.  The Swedish post-rock quartet combine Modest Mouse-like indie rock and the cinematic grandeur of Sigur Ros’s brand of post-rock with soaring pop-leaning melodies for their most imaginative and evocative album yet.    

The dynamic standout track, “Skydiver” teeters between a propulsive marching band rhythm with sliding guitar melodies and broad-stroking chords that give the feeling of free-falling and support the song’s title.  Another standout track “Dollar Underwater” is highlighted by a cyclical, rumbling drum pattern and lush layers of shimmering guitars that recall former label mates, The Appleseed Cast.     

In celebration of their 19^th year of existence, Deep Elm Records is offering up nearly all of their 200 releases – Moonlit Sailor and Appleseed Cast albums included - as a name-your-price download.
