I love Stars Of The Lid. Do you know who else loved Stars of the Lid? John Peel. “It’s very very quiet indeed. You may very well think there’s something wrong with your radio.” The following — a beautiful live performance — captures the duo of Adam Wiltzie and Brian McBride building their minimalist drones before a rapt crowd in the United Kingdom. Five cuts, all glorious. This is the music for sleepless nights. This is the music for 4am when headlights from distant cars cast shadows across your bedroom walls. This is the music for gray and wintry afternoons. This is the music for thunderstorms. This is the music you might very well miss if you are not paying attention. This is the music John Cale, Tony Conrad and Brian Eno all wish they’d have created. Stars of the Lid do it the right way.
