No Star - Slip
You can tell a lot about an undiscovered artist’s level of obscurity by their Internet footprint. The metric we prefer to go by is the length of time it takes to find their album art via a simple Google search. In this case of Chicago indie rock duo No Star, they clocked in at a solid 2 minutes and 10 seconds - which equates to “moderately obscure.” Their new single “Slip,” off their Palm Reader EP, is a charismatic alternative rock anthem with quite a grand, encapsulating sound. Grand enough to conclude that this dynamic tune might just need to be heard in an arena in order to be fully appreciated. And if No Star keeps producing tracks of this quality, they’ll be putting on that first arena show in no time.
