One listen to Constellation, Indonesian indie folk pop duo Stars and Rabbit’s debut studio album, will never be enough. These 11 solidly-produced tracks from guitarist Adi Widodo and singer Elda Suryani are enigmatic, charming, childlike, imaginative, unforgettable and more. The two old friends first joined forces in 2011, their combined musical influences including primarily British and Icelandic artists known for pushing creative limits and pioneering sound art: Sigur Rós, Coldplay, Radiohead, Emiliana Torrini, Imogen Heap, and Sia to name a few.

The result of these influences are clear in Constellation where the songs’ textures, emotions and dynamics grow and develop, sometimes starting with childlike charm, then building to a roaring intensity. Ranging from haunting acoustic Appalachian style, to heavy, driving blues rock, the songs incorporate mystical slide guitars and strings, delicate chimes, dark cellos and heavy bass. Suryani’s childlike voice floats over top with a distinctive edge reminiscent of Björk: there are no limits on what she chooses to do, stretching syllables, vocalizing wordlessly, floating melody lines in the pure enjoyment of singing. This full album, releasing digitally May 15, 2015 , is the next brilliant step for Stars and Rabbit after the 2013 release of their first EP, Live at Deus. 

Released exclusively in the Philippines by Lilystars Records under lincense from Green Island Music, Indonesia.

Catch Me - Stars and Rabbit

[Verse]
Time to catch my breath on this spinning ride
Every step I take feels like worlds collide
Listening to white noise it’s a gentle sound
Dancing like a tortoise slow but unbound

[Chorus]
Catch my breath hold it tight in my chest
Moving through the chaos I’m doing my best
White noise whispers secrets I’ll never forget
Dancing like a tortoise no rush no regret

[Verse 2]
Gravity’s a trick it pulls but I sway
Counting all my steps in a rhythmic ballet
White noise hums a tune that nobody knows
Dancing like a tortoise in a world that glows

[Bridge]
Slowing down the tempo to feel the groove
Life’s a funny rhythm I let it move
Every breath I take keeps the beat alive
Dancing like a tortoise I thrive

[Chorus]
Catch my breath hold it tight in my chest
Moving through the chaos I’m doing my best
White noise whispers secrets I’ll never forget
Dancing like a tortoise no rush no regret

[Outro]
Breath caught steady I’m ready to leap
Tortoise pace taught me the secrets I keep
White noise fades but the lesson remains
Dancing like a tortoise through life’s refrains
