Collapsing Stars

The very best musicians use familiar styles of music as a launching pad into new landscapes. This is part of the incredible beauty of Collapsing Stars. Their songs are grounded in something folkish & Americana-ese yet they have departed for new shores. This makes them as exciting as other Minnesota musicians who have done this. Like Humbird & Charlie Parr.” – Mikkel Beckman (Percussionist for Charlie Parr)

“Collapsing Stars’ languid folk songs are punctuated by forceful stabs of bluesy guitar — and, in the case of “The Storm,” a few appropriate nature sounds. The effect can be whispery and beautiful, but the band’s music maintains a welcome undercurrent of reflection, doubt and even dread.” – Stephen Thompson, NPR Music

“Unassuming but confidently made, this soothing blend of folk and Americana is a tonic for the soul.” – Helen Jones, Americana UK

“These Twin Cities folkies, led by singer-songwriter Justin Wayne Nelson, put out the very good Chapter LP a few months back; here’s a windswept (quite literally) highlight, suggesting that Nelson could be the heir to Iron & Wine’s throne.” – Michael Bonner, Uncut Magazine
