James Walsh, singer of Starsailor on the new album "Silence Is Easy" - and more
after the success of their debut "Love Is Here" british melancho-rock group Starsailor releases "Silence Is Easy". we met lead vox James Walsh to chat about Phil Spector, Oasis and the difficulties in the life of a pop star.
Vienna – "when i heard someone has been shot dead in Phil Spector's house i thought: Fuck! hope it's the singer off Starsailor."
the man who recently digged the verbal grave for James Walsh is Noel Gallagher, guitarist of oasis and being that he's already known for that kind of "politeness". Walsh born on a small island named Chorley embodies exactly the opposite of what Oasis are standing for. some tracks off the album 'Silence Is Easy' (EMI) have been produced by Wall-of-Sound-legend Phil Spector (The Ronettes ...) – right before actress Lana Clarkson was found dead in his house in february and he was being accused for murder.
[...]
after a long period of under-class posing in british pop – i.e. as long as oasis had "ruled" – newcomer-bands drew the media's attention to them having a focus on romance and sensitivity. Bands Travis and Starsailor became the new idols of that movement: they sold one million copies of their debut (UK numbers).
Walsh: "Oasis have written some wonderful tunes, but those were always in contrast to their behaviour. People like Fran Healey from Travis and me are just normal guys. i don't believe i'm just Jesus like Liam Gallagher does. we make music for the music's sake. and i'm not afraid of showing my feelings and being romantic. talking about feelings can be a therapy for me. we as starsailor don't create an image we just try to keep our music on a universal level."

The whole thing with Oasis started because he was saying it was a "conspiracy" that Heathen Chemistry was talked about as a success , and that the people he spoke to didnt rate it ~ its not my favourite Oasis album but its comfortably better than Starsailors debut ~ most people I spoke to liked it ~ what the fck is it to do with him?
The only two things people have heard about Starsailor is that they did a couple of songs with a barmy producer- and he got called "a cok" by Noel .
