Don’t know what it is about “The Only Stars” by National Park but it’s oddly familiar, like I heard it in a previous existence. Anyways, these Luna-landscape, Mazzy Star-tuesque frequencies revive that great tradition of the cool Glasgow 7” just in time for the nights drawing in and the youngsters gathering around their gramophones. Title track includes the great Bill Wells and Belle and Sebastian alumni Sarah Martin and Mick Cooke. Flip is a short shimmering instro entitled “La Solara”. Distributed in the UK by Cargo but you can order it direct from Yield Recordings. Apologies for the sleeve repro, it’s not designed to be viewed as a thumbnail and I am entirely down with that.
