   About aprilsrain
Our debut album, Stellar Transmission, is now available! Produced by Chris Manning (Guster, Third Eye Blind, Minipop, 20 Minute Loop) and recorded at the legendary Plant Studios in Sausalito, CA, Stellar Transmission features Roger Joseph Manning, Jr. (Beck, Jellyfish, Imperial Drag, Moog Cookbook), members of local rock band American Drag, and musicians from the San Francisco Symphony. It's the result of three years of hard work, and we're excited to finally share it with you.

"From beginning to end, Stellar Transmission is filled with interesting melodic interpretations and slow-building, yet immediate eruptions of delicate harmonies." - Not Lame Records

"Shimmering pop melodies from Aprilsrain...lots of delicate harmony and baroque chord changes dominate this album which tends to veer toward the mellow side of pop." - Powerpopaholic

"Dreamy indie pop that still manages to be catchy and melodic...a captivating disc that rewards repeated listens." - Absolute Powerpop

"A pleasant collection of distilled dream-pop and shoegaze...the crisp, clean production will appeal to Pinback and Death Cab for Cutie fans." - East Bay Express
