New Album 'The Afterglow' Is Out Now

KillerStar build on the acclaim rewarded to their self-titled debut (★★★★ Mojo Magazine, ★★★★ The Times) by unveiling a bold evolution in their sound with the new album ‘The Afterglow’, released following a Sold Out three-night residency at the 100 Club.

Having worked with guitarist, singer and songwriter Rob Fleming and drummer James Sedge on the British band’s acclaimed debut  , Bowie’s most trusted musicians —Mike Garson on piano, Earl Slick on guitar, Mike Plati on bass — have returned for The Afterglow, an eight-song slice of powerful, insistent art rock, in which the spirit of adventurousness combines with a sense of classicism and purpose throughout. The Bowie alumni bring shades of their old boss with them — you might notice the odd reference, particularly from Garson — to an album that nonetheless belongs entirely to its own world. Joined this time round by Leonard Cohen’s favourite harmonising siblings The Webb Sisters on backing vocals, The Afterglow picks up where the first album left off while going further into the stratosphere. From the killer riff smashing open The Afterglow to the delicate piano balladry of Invincible, this is glam, art rock, hook-laden pop, even a touch of jazz, all held together by killer melodies and lyrical themes on life, love and remembering.

The album is co-produced by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, The Who).  Available now on limited edition silver vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital.  In all good record shops or the record label webstore vintageleaguemusic.com
