Stellastarr*, maybe the greatest group in music with an asterisk in their name (that’s right, did I stutter *NSYNC?), announced that they will be releasing their third studio album, Civilized, on July 7 (via their own Bloated Wife Records).

The NYC-based, dancey-indie-rock quartet have also posted their lead single “Grafitti Eyes,” on their MySpace page, which will be available to (legally) download on April 20, when the song is released on iTunes–the same day it will be featured on an episode of CW’s Gossip Girl. (Tell me you don’t hear some Pixies influence on the track.)

According to some internet reports, lead singer, Shawn Christensen, has been having some throat issues, and will compensate by singing in a different register on Civilized.
