Our Take

If there's one thing that can be said about Stars of the Lid, it's that they are not ones to rush things. Their album "Tired Sounds Of..." is a sprawling, epic journey through the depths of ambient music, clocking in at a hefty two hours and twenty-four minutes.

But don't let that put you off - this album is worth every second of your time. From the hypnotic drones of "Requiem for Dying Mothers, Pt. 1" to the haunting beauty of "Mullholland," Stars of the Lid create a sonic landscape that is as immersive as it is overwhelming.

The duo's attention to detail is truly remarkable, with each note and sound carefully crafted to create a sense of depth and emotion that is truly unique. This is music that demands to be listened to in one sitting, letting the waves of sound wash over you like a warm bath.

As Pitchfork Magazine would say, "Tired Sounds Of..." is a triumph of ambient music, a sonic masterpiece that will leave you both exhausted and exhilarated. Stars of the Lid have once again proven themselves to be pioneers in their field, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of ambient music. So grab your headphones, find a quiet place to sit, and prepare to be transported to another world.

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.

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.
