started in 92 - it was originally slated for the nitrous record, but it didnt make the cut the b side is from the 96 summer tour with beadhead-calgary still brings a smile to my face - everything sounded so warm and inviting,and the crowd noise really seems to drone along with us..."

WIKIPEDIA INFO:
Stars of the Lid is a duo specializing in drone-based ambient music. They list among their influences minimalist and electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, and Henryk Górecki, as well as Talk Talk, post-rock artists Labradford, and ambient innovator Brian Eno [1]. Their songs are largely beatless soundscapes, composed of droning, effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns; volume swells and feedback fill the gap of rhythmic instruments, providing dynamic movement within the songs. Their sound has been described as "divine, classical drone without the tedious intrusion of drums or vocals".[2]
Biography
Formed in Austin, Texas in 1993, SOTL is composed of two members — Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie. McBride explained in an interview[3] that the band's name refers to "your own personal cinema, located between your eye and eyelid", suggesting the colors and patterns one can see with closed eyes. Both have released solo material, the former under his own name and the latter under the Dead Texan alias. Their most recent album, a double-LP named Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid, was released in 2001 to generally positive reviews. Adam Wiltzie now lives in Brussells, Belgium and Brian McBride in Los Angeles.
Forthcoming releases
While the band's official site has been stating that there is no news on the completion of the new record since mid-2004, one new track appeared on the Kranky Kompliation CD released 1st Nov 2004. The new track was titled Even if You're Never Awake (version), which was reminiscent of the work the duo provided for their Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid release. Brian McBride however has stated that a new record is finished and will be released on Kranky "hopefully before 2007"[1]
In December 2006 Pitchfork Media announced that a double album entitled Stars of the Lid and Their Refinement of the Decline, would be released on April 2, 2007.[4] Set to be released as a 2xCD and 3xLP, the album leaked to the internet in mid-February 2007.
