I'm still not feeling all that well, so words will be few today. Knut of Eardrums is dealing with health problems . Please go wish him well. Holiday is coming up and leaving for Cairo on Sunday. Delay Trees has been signed to Friendly Fire Recordings . A self-titled debut album will be out on May 10 . + [...]
Psychic Powers has announced that the band's stunning debut Infinity will see a physical release on CD via Dryden St. (yay!). No information available on when it's out and how to order it…yet! + Brighter + Glide The drooling continues. Check this excellent (and rather classic indie pop) track by [...]
Starring Me shares great new track 1987 . + 1987 Mailbox trivia: Have 4,507 mails in my inbox. 3,722 are unread. A search for " SXSW " creates 447 hits. MP3hugger posted the glorious Facing the Sun by Treefight for Sunlight yesterday. Grab it! Mono Noir [...]
Guess there was little point in mourning the death of shoegaze all those years ago when in truth it has continued to thrive in darkened tiny pockets on both sides of the water. The Pains of Being Young At Heart, Mew and M83 have refocused things of late proving that all the doubters were shortsighted after all. Away from the main stage there are even more thrills to be had (if you have not fallen for A Sunny Day In Glasgow or our own South Ambulance you are missing out) like the softly focused Floridians Starring Me who [...]
Often times, it seems the artists who send updates on newly released music have perfect timing where sound and climate/season are concerned. Such would be the case for Jacksonville, Florida-based outfit Starring Me who we originally featured with a toasty little indie-rock gem to keep us nice and warm in October 2007. Since that time, members Tara Golden (vocals), Reed Clendenen (bass/vocals) and
Somewhat disappointed that no one has complained about yesterday's Danish experiment . Perhaps this verifies that no one actually reads or cares about the words anyway? Via Frank Yang (Mr. Chromewaves ) comes the fantastic news that Richard Hawley will have a new album out on September 21 . To be called Truelove's Gutter and hopefully the release will be supported by a tour, which hopefully will include Denmark? Not that many people showed any interest in winning [...]
It has taken 4 years to complete, but finally a new CD from Starring Me has seen the light of day. The band itself calls the release a CD and I suspect that the band (just like me) wasn't sure whether this 7-track release should be labeled "album" or "EP", as Parallels runs for just 30 minutes. Which probably is a little less than one had hoped for. Musically there is not much new brought to the table, and the music remains the same dreamy and shoegaze inspired kind, as found on [...]
Is this nemesis? Just hours after writing that IFPI / Blogger hadn't removed my re-post of the Doves remix, I received a notification that another post had been taken down. I assume you're now awaiting a post of rage and anger, but apparently my previous post didn't help , so why bother? And since the post in question is from February and not something removed from the "front page", it is somehow easier to live with, though I still [...]
Parallels are endless - Starring Me I think it's time to officially declare 2008 the year of stunningly beautiful atmospheric dream pop. I was feeling kind of down about the generally mediocre state of new music this year, but if I can keep turning up something this good every couple days (thanks to folks like Stytzer ), that'll quickly turn around. I know virtually nothing about Starring Me except that I could listen to this one track for hours on end. And they make music almost too pretty for [...]
Okay, die Raveonettes-Remixe von eben sind leider ziemlicher Schrott, deshalb, um dem Tag eine etwas positivere Note zu geben, hier ein Tipp vom Morten - nämlich einen neuen Song der amerikanischen Shoegazeband Starring Me . «Parellels are endless» ist wieder ganz tolle, ätherische Musik, die uns den Mund wässrig macht für das Album.

Simply cannot think of a better to start the weekend. US shoegazers Starring Me has (finally) published a brand new recording, which according to the band has been 3 years in the making. Well worth the wait me thinks, as Parallels Are Endless , just like most of the band's previous tracks, is dreamy and utterly beautiful with that heavenly female vocal in the background. Close your eyes and let yourself drift away on a puffy cloud, while you're dreaming that the band's third album is being released tomorrow! + [...]
Okay, so ganz meine Welt ist die Musik von The Floor Is Made Of Lava , den dänischen Newcomern, nicht - das ist mir irgendwie alles zu zappelig, zu anstrengend, zu unmelodisch. Aber da es den einen oder anderen Leser des Blogs interessieren könnte und Morten sie die ganze Woche so hypt, will ich doch gerne erwähnen, dass dieser Tage das Debütalbum «All juice no fruit» erschienen ist und man eine Reihe der Songs kostenlos runterladen kann.

The temperature dropped substantially today and Fall is now officially in full effect. It's that time once again to revisit the coats and sweaters that have kept me insulated for years. With music, it will be much the same here on MML, and today's featured artist makes for a wonderfully warm segue into the brisk close of another year. Starring Me is the low key, indie rock trio of Tara Golden
Wonderful US shoegaze trio Starring Me has published two new tracks from the band's forthcoming album that will be released later this year or early next year (not sure, but I believe it will be named 11th Hour ). If you're not already familiar with the band, you really should download all the tracks of the band's excellent 2005 album Perfect in the Night for free right here ! + Goodbye [...]
