Starlight Mints

 

Norman, Oklahoma psych-pop pranksters Starlight Mints will be releasing Change Remains via Barsuk Records digitally on June 9th and physically on July 21st.

Starlight Mints are a group of beautiful pop mutants: five singular musical minds whose love for archetypal pop music and AM radio has provided, over the course of three previous acclaimed albums, a rock-solid foundation for a whole bunch of inspired uniqueness, all baked to perfection under the hot Oklahoma sun. Allan Vest (vocals/guitar), Marian Love Nunez (keyboards), Javier Gonzales (bass), Andy Nunez (drums), and Ryan Lindsey (keyboard / guitar) began jamming together in the '90s, giving birth to their own unusual brand of instrumentally complex, surrealistically worded pop sound.

Says Marian: "Three appears to be the magic number for Starlight Mints, as far as years between album releases is concerned. Somehow, though, it seems just like yesterday we were begging for just a bit more time to wrap up DROWATON. I guess running a music venue, raising 5 children and working on multitudes of media projects, including writing ballads for pretty boy bands, will make time go a bit faster. So, here we are three years later: we've used up all our extra time, we've chosen a title and we've sent the music and artwork to the presses. The fourth album is done! Four: our new magic number. See you again in 2013.
