STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS - THE BIRTH (LP)

Stardeath And White Dwarfs The Birth on LP + MP3 from Warner Bros.

Weirder, Looser, Funkier Cousins to the Flaming Lips

Led by Wayne Coyne's Nephew: Turn on the Black Lights!

Led by Dennis Coyne, nephew of Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, psych/prog/experimental pop quartet Stardeath And White Dwarfs began life traversing the galaxy as the road crew for their fellow Oklahomans in The Flaming Lips. One-half stoners with nothing to do but roll joints on their King Crimson record sleeves and one-half confetti launchers/space bubble technicians, Stardeath And White Dwarfs debut their own free-floating circus on their full-length debut The Birth.

A mind-trip of emotion and mood, recalling everything from “upper” dance freak-outs to “downer” Floyd-esque anthems, The Birth celebrates a love of all things psychedelic. This standard-weight black-vinyl release is housed in a single-pocket jacket with a digital download card for the full album.

"Stardeath is looser, weirder, and funkier than the modern Lips, coming across with the zest of kids that recently discovered acid-tinged rock and folk albums in their parents’ record collection, dove into the new worlds of sound, and aren’t yet ready to come up for air. No, a requisite stage light show doesn’t come with the album. But the band’s frayed pop and burbling kraut rock convey the wild spectrum of colors listeners can imagine sparking in their mind’s eye."
