Starsailor
Silence is Easy
(Capitol)
Starsailor have returned with Silence is Easy, the follow-up to their critically praised Love is Here. Their debut never really caught on, but people weren’t ready to dial down their nü-metal for a dose of sweet Britpop back in 2001. Here, “Shark Food” and “Four on the Floor” are infectiously fun pop tunes that will have you reaching for the repeat button. Star- sailor will have a tough time living up to the album’s title— their brand of icy cool pop is in the same league as Travis and Coldplay.
