Stars Of The Lid And Their Refinement Of The Decline - 2023 Repress

Kranky Records

"I simply feel that they are making the most important music of the 21st century." Ivo Watts-Russell - 4AD label founder .

"Crushingly sad, lightly melancholic, or even uplifting, depending on the state of mind of the hearer… a sound divorced from intention and its ambiguity is its strength." Pitchfork.

"The sound of deep sea disintegration… a work of art." Tiny Mix Tapes.

"Music of such quiet and devastating power it can silence a room in five minutes without the volume knob on the stereo being manipulated. Deeply moving…." AllMusic.

"Traces the fluid contours of a void through diaphanous lines that reveal all of its miasmal abstraction." Dusted "A two-hour juggernaut of careful dynamics and warm tones." XLR8R.

Stars Of The Lid

The Ballasted Orchestra

Kranky

The much-in-demand vinyl version of the second (or third, depending on how you calculate) Stars of the Lid album, their ?rst for Kranky, is ?nally being reissued.

The original 4 track cassette recordings (yes, 4 track cassette my friends) were remastered and new lacquers were cut, and the original artwork has been updated.

The music itself shows Sotl with one of their ?rst major transitions, from the found sound and guitar abstractions of their previous Music for Nitrous Oxide to a much more de?ned and re?ned compositional structure which would soon develop into the full blown miniature symphonies heard on later works.

As an added bonus, the double LP vinyl version has 9 additional minutes of material not on the CD or digital versions.

SOTL?s ?rst major statement as a sonic force to be reckoned with is now available on the analog format once more.

Kranky

Originally released on Sub Rosa in 2000, this ultra classic Stars Of The Lid album has been out of press for years. An expansive and ambitious album, this at the same time is probably Stars Of The Lid's most cohesive and accessible album, a moving work struck through with subtle melodies and a compositional aesthetic.
