Star Rover are a post-punk, Avant-pop, dream-folk, neo-folk, synth-pop, prog-rock, industrial, krautrock, art-rock duo, from New York, whose cinematic, mood-altering and spell-binding music goes back to our primitive selves. They are a duo who uproot our ancestral proto-language and create music that is tribal, off beat, inflamed, celebratory, diverse and illuminates through a shift of polarised states. As a duo, Star Rover are wizards of galloping polyrhythms, heavy-duty riffs, Metallic mesh, space-shudders and Stella-synths that fly high and dive deep into the bioluminescent basslines of ambient-pop.
They are artists in the true sense, creating music that abstractly flows, glows and trail a vaporous mist of dark-wave rock. An all consuming affair, Star Rover make music that is unpredictable, majestic and projects a thunderous grandiose, They are a duo whose instrumental soundscape morphs and mutates predominately throughout, allowing the fleeting vocals and hazy harmonies to fluctuate within the realms of rock reverie and melodramatic motifs.
Ahead of their eponymous album, “Star Rover”, released on 15th October 2021, Star Rover have released their opening track, “The Springs“, as their 1st single. Released on 30th September 2021, via Peppermint Olive Records, “The Springs” is aural instrumental awakening, whose daydream drones elongate and are rudely interrupted by the pecking birds of industrial-post-punk. It’s a captivating track, that whirls in a spiral of dream-pop and descends into the darkness of prog-rock. Along with the jangly riffs and wonky-synths, “The Springs” swirls obliquely into unchartered territory, whilst flickering from its cosmic rays.
As of 30th September 2021, ‘The Springs’ will be available across digital platforms, including Spotify and Apple
Music. The ‘Star Rover’ LP, released on October 15, can be ordered at https://ffm.to/starroveralbum or
via Bandcamp.
