about

Originally released in 2007.

Don't Break My Heart was recorded and mixed by Michael Allen at The Jingle Company, 2006-2007. Mastered with Cameron McKenzie at Eastern Bloc.

All songs written by Stanley Paulzen except 'Please Don't Ask For an Apology' by Stanley Paulzen and Owen Bolwell. Performed by Stanley Paulzen and Michael Allen. Louis Richter played some additional guitars. Artwork by Tim Fleming.

Fred Astereo has followed up on 2005’s warped masterpiece I Love You with another instalment of brilliant paeans to the lovelorn in this warm and often tragically funny new album. With his soothing deep-tenor vocals, and by applying ukulele and acoustic sounds to the more synthetic, the on-paper comparison would seem to be The Magnetic Fields, but the songs on Don't Break My Heart display a closer affinity with artists like Jonathan Richman, Depeche Mode and Morrissey, or even Frank Ifield, Perry Como and Buddy Holly.
