Their name might conjure up images of sitting at a traffic light with extremely decibel-challenged individuals in the car next to you, but the music of Melbourne, Australia's Car Stereo Wars is actually serene in comparison. Beginning musical life as a trio back in 2000, their first EP was titled Project A and included a very dreamy track called Broken which earned them considerable attention. Since then, they've continued to refine an impressive blend of orchestra and electronic into their debut full-length release, For Your Comfort and Safety. This is your chilled-out release of the year, atmospheric and though-provoking if the moment calls for it made available to you by a band with terrific versatility, and their music will grab you, pull you in and keep you in full float. A band as good at genre-mixing as they come. Excellent.Car Stereo Wars: Website • MySpace • For Your Comfort And Safety available via Amazon
