As one half of Stars of the Lid, Brian McBride has contributed to the essential drift music of our time. "When the
Detail Lost its Freedom" was recorded mainly on an ASR X keyboard sampler. The instruments recorded were guitar,
piano, vocals, harmonica, trumpet and strings. There were no synthesizers or keyboards used in the creation of the
album. There's a lot of sampling in the sense of capturing a tone, isolating its tuning, and playing it on the keys of a
piano. Guitars become piano-esque. Room noise becomes room noise played on a keyboard. And you can actually
make out some guitars. "When the Detail Lost its Freedom" is a collection of individual pieces and therefore released
from the Lid's uninterrupted architecture. The album was recorded somewhere in between Los Angeles and Chicago,
always at home, in random moments of duress over the last four years.
"It's a lovely album..." - Harold Budd

Professionelles Premastering ist heutzutage ein entscheidender Faktor für den Erfolg einer Musikproduktion. Viele Mastering Studios sind für den "Musiker im Alleingang" jedoch kaum bezahlbar. Silver Sound hingegen gibt selbstfinanzierten Künstlern die Möglichkeit, Mastering kostengünstig und auf höchstem Niveau in Anspruch zu nehmen.
Thanks so much for your friendship…I discovered Stars of the Lid* in iTunes it's a great pleasure to listen to your serene Tunes…all the best from Berlin…Prabhudeva…
Our new album "Herbarium" is
out now on CdBaby (MP3 so far, physical CD is on its way).
Diverse palette of styles (post-rock,
ambient, electronica, trip-hop, with elements of noise, dub,
neoclassic and free improvisation), united by cinematic, slightly
pensive mood.
«Herbarium» is called so
because of heterogeneity of «songs», which can be
compared to miscellaneous leaves in the album, still being belonged
to the family of trees. Trying to avoid non-alive metaphors here,
only thought of diversity and warm and innermost feeling that
herbarium is capable to conjure up. «... This leaf I picked up
in the park where I met her, and this - I sat by the river,
contemplating...». So tracks were created – one was captured
in some magic jam, another – recorded layer by layer and
meticulously mixed then, next – cut from previous sessions and so
on.
All compositions are united by Poostosh
sense of music – mostly pensive, spatial, tender and experimental.
There's a lot of soul and charisma in every leaf... So please let
your soul look over our HERBARIUM.
