Started as Stellamaris. Changed their name to The New Frontiers. Toured a lot, recorded one full-length record, and then quit. “In a time where big beats and big hooks equal big sales, and transience runs rampant throughout the medium, it is becoming ever so difficult to find records that still matter. You know, the ones that affect you. That stick with you. That serve as an underscore to the essential times in your life. While those types of records are certainly becoming an endangered species, there are thankfully those that defy this trend, and work to supply us with the instant classics we so rarely find anymore.
The New Frontiers are a band on the front lines of this battle with their debut full-length offering, Mending; they wisely let their music do the talking. Sonically, the band once known as Stellamaris offers up their take on a quieter, more introspective brand of indie rock. Anchored by singer Nathan Pettijohn’s emotive vocal delivery, and complemented in kind by an equally skilled Dallas-based supporting troupe, The New Frontiers present tunes with a quiet sense of majesty that still manage to pack a colossal emotional footprint. Their pacing is deliberate, but never sedate and their sound is at once both contemporary and traditional. The overall musical stew is one that combines dashes of alt-country, brit-rock, and indie-pop (among others) towards a final mélange sure to win over sets of ears for years to come.
From the opening swells of “Black Lungs,” Mending grabs a hold of its listener, but not at all in a forceful, brutish way. It is instead the type of prompting that begs for acquiescence, and the rest of the LP only cements that notion.

Does anyone know if the singer Nathan Pettijohn is in any new projects? I had a proper Google around, but he seems to have dropped off the edge of the Earth. Would be such a shame if his voice is going to waste.
