Quotable Quotes
“…LeighStarDust…has assembled an impressive cast of Adelaide indie-types to help flesh her songs out (Sarah Masters of Tired Children, Nigel Koop of Home For The Def, Mikyl Bray and Simon Parker of Canino) and the result is an impressive pop concoction. Hypochondria is a jaunty nursery rhyme, while Harry Potter is a glorious, swept up pop gem…Little Man is a particular highlight…while Jealousy is a torch song…despite its home-made charm, this is not a record that would crumble in the cold, hard light of a proper studio…’Manly Detectives’ is already a shoe-in for best local release this year.”

“…StarDust is continuing her quest to achieve pure ambient pop perfection.”

“LeighStarDust wears a bright yellow jumper with sparkly things sewn all over it. She sings songs of personal revelation in a fresh, intimate manner. These refreshingly non-confessional pieces are sophisticated, relaxed. Accompanying her alluring voice is a Casio keyboard occasionally doubling as a synth. And any woman who sings a song about fancying a schoolboy has a lot of guts – making it work takes talent as well. I’ll make a point of seeing her again, soon.”

“Two of Adelaide’s coolest music outfits, brillig and LeighStarDust, have teamed to bring you Fashion, a split EP which features not only the two acts covering each others’ work, but also a cover of the David Bowie song of the same name. And when you think about it, it seems obvious that brillig’s dark electro pop and Ms Dust’s delicate keys would do wonders to Bowie.”

“Could you help me find legislation that proves a chicken is a pet?”

“Good-oh for dogs.”
-LeighStarDust’s Mum
Yes, she really says it.
“Millington promises something a bit different from her familiar one-woman-one-keyboard set-up for the launch [of They Make Good Pets]. Rest assured, however, that this is still unlikely to do much in the way of stifling the disarmingly delightful interactivity that characterises her performances.”

“The lauded singer/songwriter is getting ready to launch her “difficult second EP…and she’s still wondering how all the musicians involved will cram into the Jade Monkey. It’ll be a veritable who’s-who of Adelaide music as all manner of talents are put into action to welcome the EP in style. She calls it “Lego Blocks”; we just know it’ll be one helluva night.”
