Oklahoma City’s Stardeath and White Dwarfs centers around lead singer Dennis Coyne, nephew of The Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne, and a backing band comprised of former Flaming Lips roadies. So it is no wonder the debut album The Birth from Stardeath and White Dwarfs is drawing comparisons to The Flaming Lips: Coyne applies his uncle’s fractured psychedelia to a heavier 70’s rock vibe, resulting in an album with solid musicianship and production but ultimately lacks a unique voice. All in all, it’s a great starting point for a band with lots of potential and I look forward to seeing where Stardeath and White Dwarfs take their music.
