L.A.’s Carl Jordan, who releases music under the moniker The Western States Motel, offers another indie pop gem of a single that intertwines a bit of twang, a magnitude of synthesizers and simple but poignant melodies. However, like the rest tracks off of his new album “Freeway Freeway Riverbed,” the charming intricacies of “All the Stars” never fall short of ripening into a plush story that leaves the heart a little lighter and the eardrums more than tickled. As Jordan’s earnest vocals flesh out sentimental lyrics such as “If I could reach that far / I would grab up all the stars,” electronic riffs swirl in midst of sprightly back beats, giving the popster a particularly sanguine disposition in this tune as well.
