Stars
"Stars" is a layered, melodious synthpop love song of the most ardent variety. Remixes by The Psyche Celebration! and markymix offer a danceable and 8bit spin on the song and accompany variations on the album version. A brand new version of "Two Become One", the Instant Infant Remix (by Jens Lyd and Brian Belloni) brings a distinctly European energy to the track. A 2009 version of Haberdashery's 2004 track "I'm Lost", revolving around unrequited love, makes for a perfect counter to the joyous title track. The "Stars" video is set to the 8bit Chiptune markymix and features Cubism visualizations by Cody Williams and additional production by markymix.
