Founded in 2008 by PTERODACTYL drummer MATT MARLIN and SKELETON$ keyboardist MIKE GALLOPE and later filled out with front-woman CLARA LATHAM of orch-pop outfit THE FANCY, AMY CIMINI of avant-garde collective TILL BY TURNING, and SAM KULIK of TALIBAM! and CAPILLARY ACTION, Starring revisits the terrain of heretofore un-cool progressive rock by stripping it of pretentious improvisations and tasteless chord changes, and distilling it to its essence—a certain fascination with complexity. Far cruder than fellow “progressive” Brooklyn bands like Battles and Extra Life, if Starring plays “prog rock” it is because they are in love with a sense of unscripted fun, looking to spit beer, exhilarate and electrify rather than indulge or show. Taking the art of excitement to the point of obsession, Starring combines the forces of farfisa, viola, guitar and bass to sculpt driving, heavy, high-speed instrumental verses that take aim at soaring, epic choruses. Beneath it all, Matt Marlin’s notoriously frenzied drumming, which is as furious here as on any Pterodactyl record, propels this distortion-happy quintet from one transfixing riff to the next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555f3565e4b025563eb569e9/1439428084774-OI19DQSHZNTJCV7OAPNT/image-asset.jpeg Starring Title: ABCDEFG-HIJKLMNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ Label: Northern Spy Records Year: 2012 Starring’s ABCDEFG-HIJKLMNOP-QRSTUV-WXYZ combines minimalist musical patterns with dreamy poetry to create a new style front-woman Clara Hunter likes to call “sparkle prog.” It captures the frenetic energy of the band’s live show, but here it is overlain with a new palate of synthesizers, delay effects, drum processing, aux percussion, and vocals that create delicate, but sometimes radical juxtapositions between the lyrical and the experimental. Though songs like “the best” and “aphonia” channel the loud, raw, and repetitive “circus punk” of Starring’s early releases, much of this record speaks with a broader sense of expressive depth. Over the course of the album’s six cuts, choruses soar at monstrous heights framed by mechanical and occult trances. Dead jazz turns up with fuzzy 8-bit solos, whistling synths pipe beneath ghostly choral arrangements, viola lines in Turkish modes swoop into ornamented curls and loops, and singer Clara Hunter’s girlish vocals whisper the record’s secrets with surreal, woozy melodies. Concretely, the album reflects an aesthetic that recalls the classic sounds of European prog rock (Magma, Faust, Neu!), the unhinged grit of 1970’s New York no wave artists like Suicide, the earliest cuts from minimalists like Terry Riley and Philip Glass, and even a dose of post-rock’s strung-out improvisations. https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/sonic-spectrum daily 0.75 2016-01-04 https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/gallery daily 0.75 2017-11-16 https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/https/harvardacademiaedu/claralatham daily 0.75 2020-12-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/555f3565e4b025563eb569e9/1436491907432-9Q36EA62GTQBYHJ1QKQI/image-asset.jpeg Bio https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/scores daily 0.75 2025-08-04 https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/stanford daily 0.75 2019-02-06 https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/bertha-score daily 0.75 2020-04-07 https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/downtown-nyc-curating-project daily 0.75 2020-12-22 https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/read-me-encore daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377710645188-W6F7VW5TN6XZ26N626WB/Darren+Bridgett+%2820130828%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377710441515-L3YD83X83ELBMUJHKA5F/The+Collective+Quarterly+%2820130828%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377787389525-6YIGWYZ7Y1R2VXYGXYWO/Olasky+%26+Sinsteden+%2820130829%29.jpg Read Me https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/writing daily 0.75 2025-08-06 https://www.clarahunterlatham.com/writing-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-06
