Praise for Songs for Dustmites
"...Steve Burns has returned to his first love: music. Anyone fearing an album of Pee-Wee-ish singalong songs can rest assured-Songs for Dustmites was created with adults in mind; it is lush and symphonic pop music."
-Performing Songwriter Magazine
"...Burns' lyrical insight and gift for writing and arranging endlessly listenable pop songs consistently manages to steal the show."
-Pitchforkmedia.com
"...one of the most pleasant musical surprises of 2003 so far."
-New York Observer
"...Music is sorely lacking in intelligent, big-hearted artists like Burns. The fact that Dustmites is as good as it is comes as one of the biggest surprises of the year, and will assuredly win him some much-deserved artistic credibility."
-Under The Radar
if you know us not, please see our band website. our story is currently complicated and previoulsly striped.
the Unbeliever was co-written with Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips. it was produced by David Fridmann. we, Steve Burns, wrote A Slightly Bigger Space and Mike Rubin produced it. we made A Very Troubled Day with Steven Drozd in our bedroom and his basement. mary Fridmann sings space dolphinesquely on this track.
also:
we are not dead. we do not plan to die until august 24, 2098. our death will take place in the middle of a 96-minute guitar solo that we will perform wearing a robotic exoskeleton. it will be broadcast live from alpha colony via brainwave-cable, as part of vh1's telecast of the monsters of metaphoric science rock reunion tour.
this is our real actual ourspace band page. all others are not us.
