The Hanging Stars

The Hanging Stars are a London-based band whose music gracefully straddles the genres of cosmic Americana, psychedelia and harmonious folk. They are known for their lush soundscapes and a distinct approach characterized by mellifluous melodies, close harmonies, and a dreamlike quality that transports listeners to otherworldly places of both comfort and melancholia. Their sound has drawn comparisons to the paisley sounds of the West Coast, the plaintive storytelling traditions of folk, and the rich, harmonic depth of the Byrds, and Gram Parsons.

Emerging from the vibrant independent music scene of London, The Hanging Stars have carefully cultivated their sound through a series of releases, each showcasing their knack for songwriting and a deft blending of genres. Songs such as "I Woke Up in July" and "I Will Please You" display the band's range from reflective ballads to more upbeat numbers that carry a subtle but infectious energy. With "A New Kind of Sky," the band has carved out a niche that pays homage to the past while forging its own path, earning recognition and appreciation from a devoted fanbase eager for thoughtful, transcendent music.
