<p>A drone-based ambient music duo, Stars Of The Lid formed in Austin, Texas in 1993. Comprising Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie, they draw inspiration from minimalist and electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, and Henryk Górecki. Influenced by Talk Talk, Labradford, and Brian Eno, their beatless soundscapes are composed of droning guitars with piano, strings, and horns. Volume swells and feedback create dynamic movement within their songs. Described as "divine classical drone without the tedious intrusion of drums or vocals."</p>

Long overdue new release from nocturnal lullabye giants Stars of the Lid finds Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie expanding their sound palette to include strings, horns and piano in addition to guitars and field recordings. "The Tired Sounds of..." shows a continued trend toward more overt melodic structures seen on their previous Avec Laudenum album. Six suites stretch across two CDs and six sides of vinyl combining atmosphere, texture and melody. Neo-psychedelia, contemporary classical, ambient, minimalist, maximalist, drug enhancer, drug substitute. Stars of the Lid are all these things. Stars of the Lid are none of these things. Stars of the Lid are not about outer space, they are about inner space.
