The Dead Texan

If you haven't heard Austin's Stars of the Lid, you're missing out on some of the most affecting and pretty instrumental music made in the last decade. On the other hand, I can understand those who occasionally have trouble with SotL. The music is present, but slow and thick - the definition of what great drone is. So, for those of you who feel like Stars of the Lid might be something you'd like, but want to ease in, check out .5 SotL side project The Dead Texan.


The Dead Texan - The Struggle

This is the final track on the self-titled record from The Dead Texan, and it's fucking pretty. More immediate than SotL and a lot poppier. Tomorrow, I'll post a track from Stars of the Lid's The Tired Sounds of... record.

Buy it, why don't you?
