Biography
Stars in Coma is the brainchild of songwriter and producer André Brorsson. Since its formation in 2006, this Swedish band has released a prolific stream of albums and EPs, and toured several countries in Europe. Brorsson's home-cooked productions draw inspiration from a variety of genres, including guitar rock, disco, funk and semi-electronic pop. The band shares kinship with weirdo-poppers such as of Montreal and Ariel Pink, but it is also possible to pick up melodious echoes from British bands Belle & Sebastian and The Smiths.
US indie music site Obscure Sound called the band's sound a mixture between "ABBA’s orchestra-laden and punchy pop to the idiosyncrasies of contemporary Swedish songwriters, like Jens Lekman and Eric Berglund," while the She Turns the Tables music blog described them as a combination of "surf rock era Beatles, low fi bedroom ballad of Montreal, extraterrestrial psych rock Flaming Lips, and at times dropping a synth line you'd expect from the likes of MGMT".
