A meeting of two remarkable musical minds, Speed Of The Stars brings together Steve Kilbey — legendary frontman of Australian rock icons The Church — and Frank Kearns, the influential Irish musician and early contemporary of U2. Originally released in 2016, this collaboration drew widespread acclaim, with The Sydney Morning Herald declaring that "this record leaves a mark as indelible as a tattoo." Kilbey himself has spoken passionately about the project, calling it home to some of the finest lyrics he has ever written.
This 2023 reissue on the Easy Action label breathes new life into an already celebrated album, featuring two bonus tracks recorded in 2022 that expand on the original vision. The sessions brought together an exceptional cast of contributors, including drummer Barton Price (Models, Divinyls) and guitarist Hugo Race (Nick Cave's Bad Seeds), who also produced the record. With its mysterious, Celtic-rooted atmosphere and deeply crafted songwriting, Speed Of The Stars stands as one of the most compelling entries in Steve Kilbey's extensive catalog.
