All of the Stars is Secret Shine's second studio album, and their first in 14 years. The band took an unscheduled nine-year break before returning in 2004 with the release of their back catalogue (After Years) on Clairecords, followed by two emphatically-received EPs of new material in 2006, and live shows in Europe and America.

All of the Stars encapsulates the passion of Secret Shine's live power pop in the heart-thumping 'Oblivion', 'Voice of the Sea' and 'The Sound of Light' but is both delicate and beautiful in 'All that's left' and 'Last Leaves'. Secret Shine have lost none of the sumptuous boy/girl harmonies and celestial melodies (never more evident than in the heavenly 'Stars in the Sky') that made their debut album Untouched such a classic that is still revered in shoegazing circles today.

Secret Shine dedicated 2007 to write and record All of the Stars and demoed twice the amount of songs they needed for the album so that only the finest would survive. The band have grown on this record – the sound is stronger and more confident, expertly produced and directed by Shine protagonist Jamie Gingell. The band drift effortlessly between the epic, orchestral arrangements of 'Café Crash' and the sparse, haunting piano-led 'Another Day'.

All of the Stars would sit comfortably alongside shoegaze classics like Slowdive's Souvlaki, My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and The Pale Saints' The Comforts of Madness, but Secret Shine have created their own unique treasure and possibly the new wave of 'stargaze'.
