Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles released The Stars Are Out this week via Sugar Hill Records / Vanguard.
The follow up to her critically lauded Diamonds In The Dark (2007), The Stars Are Out is a vibrant, far-reaching display of what Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles are all about. Exploring new terrain, both as a writer and a performer, Sarah knew the character of her third album need to be more upbeat than its contemplative predecessors. The Stars Are Out is a soundtrack for Saturday nights, not Sunday mornings.
QuickTime is currently featuring a promo, with a free mp3 of “Better At The End Of The Day”:

The ten selections of The Stars Are Out—five new originals, and five covers—winnowed down by Sarah, band mates—guitarist Lyle Brewer, bassist Binky, and drummer Rob Dulaney—and producers Paul Q. Kolderie (the Pixies, Lemonheads, Radiohead) and Adam Taylor, include tunes attributed to Smokey Robinson (a radically reworked “Being With You”), Stiff Records act Any Trouble (“Yesterday's Love,” penned by Clive Gregson), and the Magnetic Fields' “No One Will Ever Love You.”
The results of The Stars Are Out include the slinky, '60s stroll of “Me and Your Ghost”; the flirtatious, guitar-driven kickoff, “Do It For Free”; and “It Comes To Me Naturally,” a hip-shaking tale of a girl-about-town, originally recorded by bar band supreme NRBQ.
