RED STARS THEORY:
Self-Titled cd:
In 1995, RED STARS THEORY released a 10" on Berkeley's Deluxe
record label and a 7" single on Seattle's RxRemedy, which have
long been out of print. This CD compiles those two releases. Since
these early recordings, the band has grown to include Seth Warren
(full-time violin player) and released an LP on RxRemedy and a second
full length and EP on Chicago's mighty Touch and Go Records. The
band has progressively moved toward the psychedelic side of the
room on recent efforts, but the melodic and noisy songs found on
these early tracks gives a perfect picture of the backbone the band
is built upon. These six songs, recorded by Calvin Johnson at Dub
Narcotic, do a good job documenting the sound of the Northwest in
the mid 90s. James Bertram (who's done time with 764-Hero, Lync,
Built to Spill, Beck) fronts the band as they carve themselves a
well worshipped niche in the dream-core cum emo movement with some
angles, some math, milky melodies, drifting vocals and a subconscious
groove capacity (courtesy of Jeremiah Green of Modest Mouse).
Naima 7":
"Naima" is a song written by none other than John Coltrane.
Red Stars Theory recorded a stripped down version with strings filling
in for the saxophone. "North to Next (exit)" is a remix
by Sientific American and features prominent samples from the first
two tracks from the band's 1999 album "Life in a Bubble Can
Be Beautiful."
