Trembling Blue Stars
All Music Guide
Named in honor of a passage from Pauline Reages infamous novel The Story of O, the melancholy Trembling Blue Stars heralded the return of singer/songwriter Robert Wratten, best known as the frontman of the British indie pop band the Field Mice. Ostensibly a solo project with significant input from producer Ian Catt, Trembling Blue Stars originally emerged in the wake of the dissolution of Northern Picture Library, the project Wratten mounted after the demise of the Field Mice with then-girlfriend Annemari Davies; 1996s Shinkansen label debut Her Handwriting explored the couples breakup in heartbreaking lyrical detail, couching its elegiac songs in airy, evocative guitar soundscapes. As of 1998s Lips That Taste of Tears, some measure of reconciliation had apparently been reached, as Davies ethereal vocal presence again surfaced. 2000s Broken by Whispers was issued in the U.S. on Sub Pop.
