Every 4th year, we can expect a new album from Belgium based Novastar so here I am sitting listening to Joost Zweegers new songs on the 3rd Novastar album "Almost Bangor" four years after the previous "Another lonely soul".
I don't think this new album is as good as the 2004 album but there are some really nice moments like the new single "Because" that could've been featured on Morten Harket's latest solo album.
Or what about the soothing opening track "Mars needs woman" that bring thoughts to Travis, the second track "Weller weakness" is really cool and I just love that suggestive piano part.
The title track is another good atmospheric ballad that I like very much, the Paul McCartney-like "Wings on me" feels misplaced here but the beautiful "Sundance" should work fine in a natural science documentary.
However, it's an uneven album but the good songs are too good to be left unheard.

Myles Kennedy was asked by Slash to audition as lead singer of Velvet Revolver, but he declined the offer. Two years later, he was called up by Creed guitarist Mark Tremonti asking to join a new band he was forming since Creed had recently broken up due to personal issues with singer Scott Stapp.
