STAROVER BLUE
PRESS KIT
BIOGRAPHY
The nostalgic tones of a Juno 106 combine with ambient layers, sparkling guitars, and bittersweet vocals to define Portland experimental dream pop band Starover Blue.
Founding members Kendall Sallay and Dirk Milotz began their musical partnership in 2007 in the San Jose State University music department. Live, the four-piece pulls from a multi-faceted discography, appealing to fans of acts such as Wye Oak, Cocteau Twins, A Sunny Day in Glasgow, The Joy Formidable, Low Roar, and The Antlers.
ANEMONE (2018 SINGLE)
“If like us you miss Cocteau Twins, then this one is definitely made for you. Kendall Sallay-Milotz‘s mystical and fairy falsetto is indeed reminescent of Elizabeth Fraser‘s idiosyncratic vocals. Swaying between dream pop, electronica and ambient music, the ethereal textures are both comforting and wistful.” -Highclouds
“Starover Blue’s sound exudes a steady self-awareness that one might expect from a creative partnership of 11 years and counting. Dirk Sallay-Milotz's Juno-106 synthesizer produces a reverent nostalgia and is given equal footing alongside Kendall Sallay-Milotz's airy soprano in the mix.” -Vortex Magazine
