Biography
There are two bands named Tin Star.
#1 Tin Star is a Durham, NC trio. Their first record, Bettie Lane, is to be released on July 28, 2009. Jamie’s knock-out voice carries an airy, ethereal quality, providing a provocative contrast to the dissonant, edgy guitar. On Bettie Lane the band offer original songs that are straight-forward, yet experimental, showing influences ranging from bands as diverse as Cocteau Twins, Blonde Redhead, Velocity Girl and Portishead.
“Our master bedroom is our music room. We sleep in the smallest room in the house,” says Jamie. “We don’t have cable TV. What we do when we have free time is play.” Jamie and Louis dispute the details of how they got together (“I thought we were dating before she did,” says Louis), but they emphatically agree that they have developed a sound with each other that they wouldn’t have alone. They discovered a chemistry that stretched beyond their new relationship and slowly began crafting songs about their families, fears, and social anxieties. Louis’ shimmering guitar lines reflected off the crystalline surface of Jamie’s voice and across the stately ease of her piano lines. “When we’re writing songs, we can pull each other out of a block,” Louis said. “I’m all ear. She can do theory. We play off of each other.”
“casts the crystalline voice of Jamie Miyares in ascendant arches of consonant piano and intricate guitar, like Blonde Redhead scoring a silent travelogue about rushing along the Audubon and waking up on big airplanes.”
