Starcrawler Launches 2 New Songs Ahead Of Debut Album Release
By: Danielle Kfare Jan. 12, 2018
Starcrawler's debut, self-titled album, produced by Ryan Adams who says "this record is gonna peel the paint off your brain", is out next Friday January 19th. Today they have shared two new tracks from the album on digital services and also in the form of electric live performances on the French TV show Album de la Semaine. Listen to "Train" here, and "Pussy Tower" here and watch their electric live performances of the songs here. Q Magazine said that "Pussy Tower" is like "The Cramps reborn for the Instagram generation."
Starcrawler are a 4-piece band. The members are lead vocalist Arrow de Wilde, guitarist Henri Cash, drummer Austin Smith and bassist Tim Franco. The youngest member is 16 and the oldest is 22. Gigwise (UK) recently stated that "Starcrawler are simply the most exciting - and best - band Rough Trade have signed in years." The foursome play with squalling riffs and thundering beats, and their incendiary live shows, fronted by de Wilde's otherworldly magnetism, are truly captivating.
Next week, they head overseas to play some shows in the UK and Europe before heading back on the road in the US for East coast shows starting on February 13th in Boston.
Their recently released video for the song "I Love LA" was directed by famed music photographer Autumn de Wilde (AKA Arrow's mom) is a fun and feisty homage to the city of dreamers. Watch: http://rtrecs.co/ilovela
