Our Take

STARS OF THE LID are back with their latest offering, "Gravitational Pull", and let me tell you, it's an experience that's out of this world. This ambient duo have been crafting immersive soundscapes for years, and this album is no exception.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to another dimension, where time seems to stand still and all your worries melt away. The layers of synthesizers and strings create a dreamlike atmosphere that is both haunting and beautiful.

Tracks like "Nostalgia for Infinity" and "Down 3" showcase the duo's ability to build tension and release it in a wave of emotion. It's like taking a journey through space without ever leaving your living room.

But don't be fooled by the serene sounds of "Gravitational Pull", there is a darkness lurking beneath the surface. The track "Weightless" is a perfect example, with its pulsing bass line and ominous drones.

Overall, STARS OF THE LID have once again proven themselves to be masters of their craft. "Gravitational Pull" is a mesmerising listen that will leave you floating in a sea of tranquility. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let yourself be pulled in by the gravitational force of this exceptional album.

About the artist

Stars of the Lid

Stars of the Lid, the enigmatic duo comprised of Adam Wiltzie and Brian McBride, have been quietly pushing the boundaries of ambient music since the mid-90s. Hailing from Austin, Texas, this pair of sonic alchemists have crafted a unique blend of droning, mesmerizing soundscapes that have left audiences in awe. With their dreamy, ethereal compositions, Stars of the Lid have managed to create a sonic world that is both haunting and beautiful. Their music has been described as "magical" and "transcendent" by critics and fans alike, and their ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through their music is truly remarkable. But don't be fooled by their serene sound - these guys have a mischievous side too. Their music can be hypnotic at times, lulling listeners into a trance-like state, only to jolt them awake with sudden bursts of noise and dissonance. It's this element of surprise that keeps fans coming back for more. Stars of the Lid are a rare breed of musicians who manage to create music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally affecting. Their ability to tap into the subconscious and draw out buried emotions is truly a gift. So if you're in the mood for some introspective, thought-provoking music that will transport you to another dimension, look no further than Stars of the Lid. This is music that demands your attention, and rewards it tenfold.
