Stars Of The Lid
An underground ambient artist.
Ambient drone duo Stars of the Lid was formed in Austin, Texas Christmas Day, 1992 by Adam Wiltzie & Brian McBride. Armed with the four-track, some guitars and a primitive Casio SK-5 sampler, the pair began making Music for Nitrous Oxide, setting themselves on an unusual, lifechanging trajectory. That debut album has taken on a near-mythical quality in the intervening years, the cosmic microwave background of an expansive universe that contains those aforementioned classics The Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid from 2001 and 2007’s And Their Refinement of the Decline, and also the duo’s breakthrough album The Ballasted Orchestra from 1997 which this album shares so much of its DNA with.
