Stellar (2)

STELLAR were part of the initial signings on 4AD's mid-90s Detox Artifacts imprint. Led by founders Ronan O'Hanlon and Martin Carroll with vocals from Sarah Mason along with Graham Tonks (bass) and Shane Johnson (keyboards). Their EP for the label was released in October 1996 and the band eventually folded in June 2000. While only one EP was released by the band, the core members did start a new band called The Sleepless. Division 68 contacted the band and asked if any unreleased Stellar songs existed in the vault and indeed there was. O'Hanlon and Carroll agreed to let Division 68 release some highlights from this collection of recordings, including some demos made for 4AD and original versions of songs from the Detox Artifacts EP. "One Extended Moment" is the title of a special download-only compilation from Stellar, compiled and remastered especially for this release by the band, released in 2009.
