Seven Stars is an EP by Austrian musician Christian Fennesz under the mononym Fennesz. It was released on 5 July 2011 through Touch.
Fennesz is an Austrian musician based in Vienna. Seven Stars is his first solo release since Black Sea (2008). The EP consists of four tracks: "Liminal", "July", "Shift", and "Seven Stars". The EP's title track features Steven Hess on drums. Fennesz stated, "I wanted to make a record that has a certain lightness about it and at the same time explore new territory using drums on one track." The EP was released on 5 July 2011 through Touch.
Jess Harvell of Pitchfork stated, "Seven Stars is a welcome if not surprising dose of what Fennesz has been doing well for a decade now, playing on the thin edge between familiar pleasures and the truly out-there." Brock Thiessen of Exclaim! commented that "It's a calming listen, for sure, highlighted best by the EP's cinematic title track, which comes complete with snail-paced live drum work and slowly strung six-strings." Jonny Coleman of Fact wrote, "Like most of Fennesz's work, Seven Stars would be some romantic shit to die to, equal parts bombast and benevolence."
