Sentinel: Counting Stars

SentinelThe new ten-song labor of love, “Points of Light” from San Francisco dream-pop three-piece SENTINEL arrived on June 2nd after a year-long effort of writing, recording, and mastering, which has really paid off.

The release comes at a great time close to the Summer Solstice and when there has been some really great planetary displays up in the sky during these warm summer nights. The album title and art aptly ties into the band’s album description on “how constellations in the stars are a form of connectedness to the universe. Like stars in these constellations, we are all individuals tied together by fate, love, struggle and loss to shape our stories, like shapes in the night sky.”

Sentinel keeps the mind actively dreaming across a number of exceptional tracks, with the rock solid instrumentation from Dennis and Billy and the lovely vocals of singer Tarabud helping tie it all together. Some of our favorites include the inspiring pop song, “Wonder Reeling”, a native american inspired wonder, “Yahmahnee”, the Freddy Jones-esque daydreaming riffs behind “Shiloh Sky”, with a special nod toward a blanket of stars dreamt up in our minds eye listening to the guitar-work on “Voices Say”.

You can pick up the outstanding new album through Bandcamp and CDbaby at the provided links below. It’s printed on Earth friendly packaging, featuring our favorite album art to date, and designed by their drummer, Billy.

Happy 4th to all our listeners here in the USA!
