Portland-based experimental dream-pop outfit Starover Blue has a sound that takes me back to the soft-singing pop and country singers of the ’90s—but their influences are vast, and it all ends up sounding like beautiful gloom pop. Having departed from their folksier roots, on last year’s Ordinary Magic, lead singles “Chameleon” and “Anemone” are vivid and delicate, but also highly climactic and fully fleshed out. The four piece now comprises singer/songwriter Kendall Sallay-Milotz (also taking on guitar, synthesizers, and beat programming), Dirk Sallay-Milotz (synth, guitar, beat programming), drummer James Alton, and bass/guitarist Kyle Polensky. Ethereal doesn’t even begin to cover it. by Jenni Moore
