Ok, these guys are surreal. Norman, Oklahoma natives Starlight Mints have a sound like a Salvador Dali mustache, or a Magritte apple over the face, long-hand cursive handwriting all over your asylum walls.
Have you ever heard lyrics like this? They have a lush pop sound like Ok Go, or Flaming Lips, but skew it with long, zany, expressionist strings and asymmetrical beats. Something sexy, wild, and freaking weird about it - I kinda love it. Their latest, Change Remains, is out now on Barsuk Records.
