OH BOY OH BOY!! I'm not gonna listen to the new song you have posted. I want to go in fresh and new when I buy the CD!!! It's gonna be hard. But I'm gonna hold off. .....ERRHHH!
Just a comment to say how great the lyrics are on some of the Dial M songs. "I Love You Like the Little Bird," "M23," "Minor Keys," and "Magic" are all so good, and though I wasn't too hot for "Altercation," "Automatic," or "Concentrate"--musically--the lyrics and emotional weight of the four aforementioned songs (the ones I really, really like) are enough to make Dial M my favorite Starflyer album since Leave Here a Stranger. And even though I think Leave Here a Stranger is better artistically, if I had to choose I would rather hang on to Dial M--in fact, I'd choose it over Silver, Gold, The Fashion Focus, and maybe even Everybody Makes Mistakes (all of which I think are better than Dial M) because of the emotional weight Dial M carries in its lyrics and music. If it seems like I'm giving a backhanded compliment, I don't mean to; those four albums (and Leave Here a Stranger) each have a style that for me makes them hard to compete with. What I do mean to do is thank you for sharing yourself with your listeners via your music these past 17 years. It's hard to believe you will ever again write a song as good as "I Love You Like the Little Bird," but I'm excited to hear your new album, to see where you shall take me. Thank you so much for all your work--it really does mean so much.
Tooth & Nail Records’ Starflyer 59 is back with another independent rock album titled “The Changing of the Guard,” which hits stores and digital outlets on August 10th. With another hit release looming, Starflyer 59 is one of the most underrated independent bands fronted by one of the most underrated men in indie music.
Following their 2008 release "Dial M," Starflyer 59 is back with ten new tracks. The first single posted online today, "Truckers Son" is about the realization that the dream life someone wanted in their twenties - like being a famous musician - is not grounded in reality as they grow older. Instead the reality is the "son" becoming exactly what he tried so hard not to become - like his dad.
SF59 has always been a band that delivers albums of interest, not just singles. The upcoming release follows this pattern. This time the album talks about how things change, and you have to learn to accept the fact that things change.
“To sum things up, God has been good to me and my family, and I need to trust He will continue to do so,” shares frontman Jason Martin. “Things change and will continue to change, and I'm learning to accept my own changing of the guard.”
Since 1993, Starflyer 59 and Martin have been with Tooth & Nail Records. Martin has also been involved with numerous side-projects including Bon Voyage, Neon Horse and The Brothers Martin. With over ten albums under their belt and 15 years of experience, Starflyer 59 has become the most reliable, most dependable and yet unpredictable messengers of album after album and “The Changing of the Guard” is no exception.
This upcoming release is produced once again by Martin (Cold War Kids) and mixed by JR McNeely (Paramore, Relient K).
"I have gotten used to self-producing," Martin says. "The idea of booking out 12 days in the studio where you have to get things done for better or worse, then getting home with the songs and thinking about all the things you would like to change, but knowing you can't. I love the idea that if I don't like something I can always go back in my place and do it until I think it is right. Everyone has limitations on what they can do, but if you find something you can do reasonably well stick with that...you gotta just do what you do, and this approach works best for me.”
