Stars of the Lid

December 7, 1999 · Kranky

Find on Amazon

Humming tape hiss and slow, heavy guitar swells rise like dust in a sunbeam, mimicking the heavy-lidded drift of an opiate. Recorded in a quiet Brussels apartment, these five tracks stretch classical drone into a warm, glacial fog. You feel the music hover, suspended in a state of beautiful, endless delay.

Moments Worth Listening For
01The Atomium, Part OneThe three-part suite opening the album slowly shifts from a dense, humming drone into a lighter, more spacious minimalist movement.
04Dust Breeding (1.316)+The final two tracks abandon the subtle movement of the opening suite to establish a completely static, floating bliss atmosphere.
