If that didn't get your skin tingling then how about the news that the first single to be taken from the album will released next week and will be available for free download until the album is released?

For the uninitiated check out <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/artists/my-majestic-star/">My Majestic Star</a>'s amazing debut album <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=14"><em>Ideas Are The Answer</em></a> and superb follow up EP <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/wp-content/uploads/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=6&amp;products_id=32"><em>Fining</em></a>. And for any non-believers who need further proof see what Stylus Magazine had to say about <em>Ideas are the Answer</em>,

<em>“What’s most striking, as those descriptions indicate, is the lack of aggression. My Majestic Star’s songs (as gauzy and atmospheric as <em>Ideas Are the Answer</em> gets these are still definitely songs) reach for the sky like all the best post-rock but you never get the sense he’s trying to blow your face off, even on the relatively high gear “Keep the Keys from Me.”...“Carry the Breeze” evokes some of the gentler remixes on Mogwai’s <em>Kicking a Dead Pig</em>, but mostly Mason steers well clear of obvious influences. He manages to make music from relative isolation that like a lot of absolutely solo work tends towards the quiet and wounded, but <em>Ideas Are the Answer</em> is optimistic from the title on down; this a record that respects and honors our melancholy without ever falling for the fallacy that it’s a permanent state of affairs.”</em> - Stylus Magazine
