Dreams Burn Down with The Starlight Run - An Interview



Para fazer jus ao lema do TBTCI, "Uma viagem ao submundo dos bons sons", nada mais apropriado do que se submeter a audição do duo estadunidense The Starlight Run.

A produção dos caras se intensivou em 2014 de forma monstruosa, eps devastadores impregnados de shoegazer clássico com altas doses de alucinações lisérgicas a´la Bardo Pond.

Ao todo foram três eps/singles que resumidamente penetram intensamente devastando corpo, mente e alma.

Adjetivos soam desnecessários, sugiro a audição imediata.


***** Interview with The Starlight Run *****


Q. When did Starlight Run started, tell us about the history...
warren- we were in a band together a few years back. and once it came to a halt we decided to do something just by ourselves

neil-we played a little bit together on the side of our other band just messing around, but when it came to and end, we decided to make it a real thing.

Q: Who are your influences?
w- there are tons. velvet underground, hammock, eno, & swervedriver to name a few

n- Appleseed Cast, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine
