Description
"American Oddity", the 2nd full-length release from Brooklyn, New York's Stars of Stage and Screen, picks up where 2002's "Dying to Meet You" left off. Beautiful songwriting, fuzzed out guitars, analog synths, gorgeous harmonies and the usual eclectic mix of beats and live instruments make this record a must have for fans of dreampop, shoegaze and just plain ol' rock 'n' roll.
Stars of Stage and Screen formed in 1999 as a collaborative recording project based in a small apartment, then in the East Village. Timothy Roven and Daughtry Carstarphen share all bandly duties - guitars, bass, vocals, synthesizers, programming, recording, removing the jingling collar from the dog during vocal takes and making the occaisional tea or cocktail - whichever the moment dictates.
Now all recording (and living for that matter) is done in Brooklyn, in a bigger studio, constructed - deconstructed - and then reconstructed by Stars of Stage and Screen. Mastering of both records "Dying to Meet You" and "American Oddity" was done by Brent Lambert at Kitchen Mastering in Carrboro, NC. If you think the records sound great (and they do!) it's because of him. seriously. We'd like to thank Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher - formerly of Squirrel Nut Zippers for adding additional drums to one of our tracks ("destroyer) and also to Akin Fernandez of ~irdial discs whose excellent and hypnotic "Conet Project" was used as a sample in another track ("circles").
