STARING PROBLEM - "Eclipse"

 

"This band is rad! On their new album, Eclipse, the band takes the ominous darkness of Bauhaus and shoots it up with the cool disdain from the likes of Honey Bane or Rubella Ballet. If you like punk rock, but often feel it's not quite spooky enough, or if you wish the Vivian Girls played around with black magick, here is the ticket."

Staring Problem is a post punk, darkwave trio based in Chicago, IL, comprised of drummer Alix Carl, bassist Milo Mendoza, and guitarist/keys/vocalist Lauren Owen. These three collectively draw influence from the likes of New Order, The Cure, Mark Hollis/Talk Talk, and Parlor. The band’s debut tape in 2010 marked the first release on Modern Tapes, and both the band and the label couldn’t be happier to release this upcoming LP as the two simultaneously celebrate ten years of existence, percolating underground at their own pace outside of the expectations of the more traditional side of the music industry. Since their inception, they’ve released their tape and three EPs, with the upcoming Eclipse marking their first full-length effort. 

This release by Modern Tapes will be available digitally, as well as on vinyl with silkscreened jackets and silkscreened insert, September 23rd.Preorder, here.

“Eclipse” is the first vinyl full-length by this long-running Chicago post punk trio. Early goth overtones, proto-shoegaze allure and raw DIY production have informed this incredible collection of songs, which is definitely their best yet. Themes in Eclipse focus on plants and animals, love and loss, and  science fiction.
