My Raining Stars - Momentum (2025)

My Raining Stars was formed by Thierry Haliniak as a solo project in 1998.

In the early 90s, Thierry was in a band called Nothing To Be Done that performed with artists such as The Boo Radleys, Adorable, and Moose. Being raised by much of the music of those times, especially influenced by the legendary C86 era and bands from Creation Records and Sarah Records, Thierry has a knack of writing classic pop songs.

For the next 10 years, Thierry recorded demos on his 4-track tape recorder before Didier Frahier (ex-Nothing To Be Done, E-grand) offered to help re-record and re-arranged some of his best tracks. In 2008, these songs would become My Raining Stars debut album "From St Saviour To Quickwell" released, on their own on CDR and with Believe on digital.

In November 2020, he released on his own a digital EP called Obvious Reasons with featured song lyrics by his friend Gilles Ramey.

Just after the EP release, Thierry formed a new side-project called Meyverlin with Gilles Ramey and Philippe Lavergne (ex-Freluquets). In October 2021, they released their debut album, "Daily Events", with a "classic guitar indiepop sound", on the French indie label Too Good To Be True, then a second one in June 2023, "Therefore", more 80s/90s electropop oriented, still on Too Good To Be True.

He's back in 2022 with the help, on drums and bass, of the talented danish multi-instrumentalist Casper Iskov for his second My Raining Stars album entitled "89 Memories", released on June 17, 2022 by Shelflife (US) and Disco De Kirlian (Spain) on digital and compact disc formats, a pure pop but also cathartic album, following the deaths of several members of his family, a few years earlier.

Still assisted by Casper Iskov on production, recording and mixing, he re-recorded, between October 2023 and April 2024, 10 songs, some old, some new, for this new album entitled Momentum, which will be released jointly on Shelflife (USA) and Too Good To Be True on March 21, 2025, 10 new pop songs but with a clear desire for a more noisy sound on certain tracks.
