THE NIGHT THE STARS FLEW
Electrosound ES 26 2007
The title track from their latest EP is less complex and more sentimental. According to the band, the EP is inspired by watching shooting stars fly across
a Baltic winter sky. Catching a shooting star by accident is one thing, but waiting for it is another. Minutes and hours can go by without activity. And so
this track captures more of the feeling of waiting than the event itself, atmosphere more than action. Slow pulsing synths provide the out-of-focus twinkle.
Then Astrowind imagine the shooting star itself as high-pitched sizzles and fades. There are swathes of inactivity between, and, like the downtime during a
meteor shower, you squint, trying to see things that aren’t there. "The Night the Stars Flew" captures this sense of languid, dreamy anticipation, with
occasional bursts of light. - JESSICA SUAREZ
