London-based psych-folk outfit THE HANGING STARS release their new single “Crippled Shining Blues” shortly, and we have the premiere listen of it below. Expertly blending hazy pastoral folk influences with the sunshine infused, melodious, Americana sound, that isn’t surprising given the record was recorded between LA, Nashville and erm Walthamstow. Their debut album Over the Silvery Lake is due out on The Great Pop Supplement/Crimson Crow on 11th March.

“Fronted by London-based songwriter, singer and guitarist Richard Olson (The See See, Eighteenth Day of May), The Hanging Stars are essentially a loose collective of people who weave together a blissed-out psychedelic tapestry. The rest of the core band is made up of Sam Ferman on bass and Paulie Cobra on drums, also featuring Horse (Dan Michelson and the Coastguards) on pedal steel, Patrick Ralla (The Alan Tyler Show) on banjo, guitar and assorted instruments and Phil Anderson on Keyboards.”
