Cobalt Starstrong the Singing Spaceman
10 songs about a singing spaceman's adventures across the galaxy.
Cobalt Starstrong Tours the Old Solar System
A far-future spaceman sings his way through Earth's ancient solar system, one planet at a time. Sci-fi surf rock with late-career Brian Wilson warmth — nostalgic for a place he's never been.
Cobalt Starstrong and the Clashing Greens
Cobalt lands on a station where the plant aliens and the lizard aliens aren't getting along, and he's charmed by everybody. Playful, philosophical sci-fi surf rock about junkyard bands, bio-ships, space horses, and the realization that we're all just seeing different pictures in the same clouds.
Anne O'Malley and the Event Horizons
Luminous, introspective sci-fi pop where black holes stand in for artistic completion, Klein bottles for identity, and a signal from a dead musician's star still carries his music. Ranges from whimsical to devastating, sometimes in the same song.
The Event Horizons on Mount Olympus
Greek gods reimagined through a space opera lens. Prometheus steals fire from a star. Orpheus looks back across a quantum threshold. Myths become deeply personal songs about ambition, heartbreak, and creative obsession.
The debut album of a cold-blooded pop star who means that literally. Temperature is emotion, shedding skin is growth, and standing in someone's shadow means freezing. A reptilian Taylor Swift declares independence under twin alien suns.
Star-Shaker's Cold-Blooded Girl
What does a pop star make after she's declared herself? Star-Shaker's second album is moodier, more circular — exploring wrong lessons that keep you singing, free fall without gravity to orient by, and the beautiful, dangerous question of what your heart looks like when it breaks into a spectrum.
