Limited color vinyl LP pressing including digital download. 2016 sophomore release from the Northeast PA-based band. The Stargazer Lilies are the brainchild of husband and wife team, John Cep and Kim Field, pioneers of shoegazes new wave with former band Soundpool. The Stargazer Lilies is the evolution of their gaze, this time with added psych rock elements (think MBV meets Pink Floyd). Ceps heavy effects-driven guitars are accented by LA based drummer, Tammy Hiratas minimalist approach, along with Fields dreamy vocals and drony bass lines. Following their debut album We Are The Dreamers in 2013, their sound was described in Spin Magazine as a reverb-washed slo-mo assault of Slowdive with the sparkling ambience of Air channeled into a lush, guitar-swollen whole. Psych-fuzz epic. Pop Matters says, The Stargazer Lilies possess a truly widescreen, cinematic sound with crescendoes that build cascading waves of sound enveloping your whole body. The music is a bit darker than standard dream pop fare, but that only makes it that much more mesmerizing.

From whispery soft and beautiful to all-out white-noise shoegaze feedback
2nd album from Pennsylvania band with former members of Soundpool: From whispery soft and beautiful to all-out white-noise shoegaze feedback, “Door to the Sun” sounds like the echoic rapture of the Cocteau Twins reverbed over-the-moon into the anguish of angels caught in a cacophonous, noise-infected turmoil. The band’s sound also references artists like My Bloody Valentine, Ringo Deathstarr, The Megaphonic Thrift, She Said, Medicine, A Place To Bury Strangers. If it catches you in the right mood, the album is a pretty decent listen, but the chaos is sometimes too deep for me to feel like stepping all the way in.
