Debut full length by longtime tigerbeat6 cohorts from rhode island, stars
as eyes is steve ferrari and craig four two. steve ferrari is best known
for his coproduction work with kid606 on tracks on down with the scene and
GQ on the EQ. Three years in the making and drawing from a very wide range
of infleunces from krautrock, hiphop, idm, punk, emo, electro and beyond.
Beautiful melodies combined with thoughtful song structures and almost
lyrical rythyms, so much more involved than today's current crop of
electronica underacheivers. creating shimmering musical textures and
melodies along the lines of boards of canada, mogwai, marumari, my bloody
valentine and early autechre, Stars as Eyes utilize a calculated mix of
old keyboards, organs, guitars, old effects pedals, live drums and even
saxophone along with todays most useful computer and modular dsp synthesis
techniques and hard disk recording without ever overcomplicating things or
losing touch with the rock and roll spirit they insist on flaunting in a
time when most electronic musicians are too busy worrying about how much
ram they have rather than how much soul their music has.
