Our newest album, Stars of Stage and Screen, is finished! You can buy it on the Suburban Sprawl Music website.
It was recorded in Minneapolis with our dear friend Andy Thompson.
Here's what people are saying about Stars of Stage and Screen:
"Stars of Stage and Screen is an extraordinarily fun and smart record from start to finish – it borders on masterpiece." - Bill's Music Forum
"The entire album shares a quirkyness with Tally Hall in that every song is swoon-worthy and has undeniable energy. Except this is the work of experienced musicians, and thus much better. Add this one to your top 10 list." - Powerpopaholic (Take THAT, Tally Hall.)
"Stars of Stage and Screen was five years in the making, and its prolonged gestation is reflected in the meticulous craft of the arrangements — producer Andy Thompson has covered every song with a delicious layer of honey and powdered sugar to complement the band’s love for ringing guitars, touches of brass, new wave-y keyboards, and (of course) the requisite stacks of glorious, glorious vocal harmonies. All of it is 100% awesome." - Popdose
"It’s nice to hear these songs sequenced like some kind of K-TEL tour through Beatlesque, bubblegum, bash and tumble garage-pop, a little bit of 1980s comedy-style keyboard pop, and a whole lot of horn sections, swanky percussion (”Stand In”? Smooooth…), chimey guitar breakdowns, and voices full of the vigor that says “We love records, we love great bands, we love songs with a bunch of parts.” And in the hands of The Pop Project, each part is undoubtedly more fun than the last." - Detour
"Stars of Stage and Screen is an album that was a long time coming but never feels overworked. Five years after their second release Life is Life, The Pop Project has given us a pop masterpiece. Stars of Stage and Screen is as satisfying as it gets. This recommendation is my gift to you. I project The Pop Project will land in my pop top three in 2008 and probably yours as well." - Too Poppy
