Low Stars is the debut album from Los Angeles band Low Stars. Signed by Hear Music, and released through Starbucks, Low Stars revisit the days when virtuoso vocals and melodies ruled pop, and three- and four-part harmonies piled up like layer cake. The album features single "Calling All Friends", which was the theme song for ABC television series What About Brian. Songs "Need a Friend" and "LA Forever" were featured in TV and Film respectively and the song "Just Around the Corner" was the featured video from the album.
