Stellar Ruins

Stellar Ruins is an Oxnard, California based dreamrock trio. The project began as a musical concept via homemade demo recordings in 2015 by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Christopher Yanez. Combining ethereal washes of layered fuzz guitars against analog synthesizer lines, Stellar Ruins' heavier tones are counteracted by the reverb laden and spaced out vocal melodies driven by drummer Johnny Rivas' dynamic prowess.

The two continued the writing process throughout 2020-2021 for what would eventually become the group's debut 6-song EP "Abandon Inhibition", due out everywhere on April 29th, 2022 on the band's own independent label Dione Records. "Abandon Inhibition" was recorded in late 2021 at The Captain's Quarters Studio in Ventura, California with acclaimed 805 area music producer and recording engineer Armand John Anthony.

The band's debut single, "Marina Park" was released on March 11th, 2022 via Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp and all other major digital outlets. "Marina Park" is an energetic dreamrock anthem about the journey to rediscovering inspiration and finding clarity from within while living in the midst of a chaotic world. The song has quickly gained traction, drawing comparisons to U2, Smashing Pumpkins, and The Cure while earning features with renowned music blogs Last Day Deaf and From The Strait amongst many others.
