Asheville, NC band Stephaniesid return with their sparkling new gem Starfruit, cementing their status as one as the regions most ambitious, innovative, and influential bands.
In the downtime since their last record, lead singer Stephanie Morgan formed a local songwriter's group to help spur her creativity.
She began recording the songs that emerged from those session, and posting them online for fans. This collection of singles formed the nucleus for Starfruit, and the rest of the band joined her over the course of many months to record more material in the home she shares with husband/ co-bandleader Chuck Lichtenberg.
As a result, Starfruit has a much looser, more organic feel than the band's first three full-lengths, while retaining the band's penchant for intricate arrangements, nusual textures, and vituosic playing. The sprawling 14-track effot touches on all of the band's many influences, even including a faithful cover of Dream Academy's hit "Life In A Northern Town," and a cheeky reworking of the Laverne and Shirley Theme song.Some other products that may interest you.
