Maybe the only thing noteworthy or different about this newest Starflyer 59 release is that the band left their long-time label Tooth & Nail and funded it themselves via Kickstarter. Otherwise, it very much fits their mold of downer pop songs with a shoegaze sheen that they've been more or less performing for nearly two decades. None of the songs really stood out to me after just a couple of listens, but their albums often require repeated listens for the subtle nuances and hooks to catch you just right. I don't always give bands that much rope, but Starflyer 59 have paid off for me so many times they're always worth a little extra effort.
