Early Warning: Stars of the Lid at The 930 Listening Room

Before I got the press release announcing this show I'd never heard of Stars of the Lid. So I spent a little time this morning listening to some of their stuff and I really, really dig it. It's ambient, mostly beatless kind of music that is, and I mean this in the best possible way, almost like really pleasant white noise. Or perhaps more accurately it sounds like it could be the score for a really good, serious movie and I do love good, serious movies.

Their show at The 930 Listening Room isn't until April 24, 2008 (doors open at 7PM, show starts at 8PM) but tickets go on sale this Saturday February 2, 2008 at ear X-tacy. The show is $10 in advance, $13 day of show.
