O Little Stars

Best known for their critically acclaimed instrumental group State River Widening, messrs Phelan and Sheppard are involved in numerous musical projects, but this guise is undoubtedly our favourite. These recordings are drawn from a loose body of work recorded at intervals between 1996 and 2001. Like the fluid, melodic phrases of, say, Susumu Yokota (who has recently remixed one of David Sheppard's other projects, Ellis Island Sound), their first full-length release, O Little Stars, reflects intimate moods and scenes that flow together with a dreamy, early-dawn sunrise feel.
