Comment: I recently watched the movie A Good Person, written and directed by Zach Braff, who also wrote and directed Garden State, whose award-winning soundtrack has been referred to on multiple occasions here. There is a pivotal scene in the movie in which the main character, played by the scene-stealing Florence Pugh, attends a concert and the song being played when she arrives really grabbed my attention. It turned out to be “Stardust” by Cary Brothers, a singer-songwriter -Brothers is his surname- who was also featured on the soundtrack of, you guessed it, Garden State.
Stardust is a moody indie track that is simply stunning. Do yourself a favor and check it out.
Featured on the following mixtapes:
A stunning track, indeed! I listened to more of his songs, and he’s a very talented guy. He’s now in his late 40s.
Yes, he’s been around for a while now. As I mentioned in the post, I first heard of him around 2003-2004, but I never gave him the attention he probably deserved by then. He also seems to be very down to earth. He sent me a private message on Instagram thanking me for this post. As you know very well, few established artists do that.
That’s great. I also shared your post on Twitter, to which he responded. It’s heartening when established artists acknowledge our reviews, posts or tweets, and even more so when they take the time to thank us.
