Thousands of lost souls descend upon Los Angeles each year to satiate their inexplicable appetite for fame and fortune.  For Nathan Fowler, aka Stella By Starlight, this opaque dream needed a voice. "Californiaphobic" is Stella By Starlight's journeyman manifesto, dancing atop the gravestones of Nostalgia and Familiarity while at once mourning their passing. Born a blue-eyed cowboy in Austin, Texas, Stella By Starlight grew up in the Low Country of South Carolina.  He spent his nights impassionately cruising the streets of Myrtle Beach in his LeBaron convertible.  He eventually grew an affinity for the finer things in life, and off he went to college.    At Duke University, Stella By Starlight was exposed to rhythms other than those formative Bach Fugues and Prokofiev Futitives he performed so furtively in his youth.  He found his voice and wrote his songs buried in the dorm-room annals of Durham, North Carolina, emerging only to perform and collaborate with formidable alum-artistes such as Mike Posner and the Holljes brothers. He now calls Los Angeles home, emboldened and perplexed by the ghost of his achievements.  Stella By Starlight's "Californiaphobic" eulogizes the generations of digital wanderers who dare venture west, a record befitting their youth and belying their age.  Behold Stella By Starlight's proclamation: the paramour of failure will forever be forgotten.  Celebrate!  Live!  Dance! <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Stella+By+Starlight">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
