Release Notes :


In late 2007, friends Michael Gooden and Jon Cook decided to focus and
change directions from previous musical attempts and formed Shapes Stars
Make. "Shapes Stars Make sound exactly the way you would expect a band
with this name to sound like. The music is airy with gentle flickers
that light up small and large. The music consumes the listener like the
lights in the night sky and lets you dream out loud." (AbsolutePunk)

Shapes Stars Make crafts emotionally-rich indie rock, heavy in post-rock
influence. The band's songs are well-crafted harmonies that balance
beautifully layered melodies and lyrics. In January 2008, Shapes Stars
Make recorded their debut album with Producer/Engineer John Congleton
(The Appleseed Cast, Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You). The
self-titled album was recorded and mixed during six rainy and cold days
in Texas.

"Evident on the band's debut EP is a sound unique in its atypical
condensation of genre techniques. Where as most indie bands
experimenting with post-rock textures tend to develop around mellow,
restrained build-ups and finishes, Shapes Stars Make represents six
tracks equally gentle and melodic as they are massive in volume."(The
Neo-Surrealist Movement)

In the Summer of 2008, Zach Edwards and SSM were united, after months of
searching for a drummer. The result was an effortless blend of
creativity, emotion, and technicality. Soon thereafter, the threesome
began writing and arranging new material, assembling the pieces for
their first full length album.

SSM signed with San Diego based label, Dreamt Music, in the fall of 2009
and went into the studio a short time later. The band, again, was
afforded the opportunity to work with John Congleton on this endeavor.
The debut full length from Dreamt, entitled 'These Mountains are Safe",
was released on January 19, 2010.

"Dallas trio Shapes Stars Make follow up on the promise of their
self-titled '08 EP with These Mountains Are Safe, an album of broadly
cinematic Sigur-Ros-meets-Radiohead post rock and progressive, often
ambient-textured, indie pop. This is music full of grand gestures and
dramatic flourishes, richly produced (by John Congleton) and
immaculately arranged but still grounded with grit and sweat. Shapes
Stars Make are clearly a band with a overstuffed grab bag of big ideas,
blessed with both technical ability and symbiotic interplay" (Direct
Current)
