Starcleaner Reunion- Café Life

Starcleaner Reunion, a New York five-piece with a cosmic streak, whips up slimy effervescent pop that bubbles out of gritty basements and the shoulder-to-shoulder heat of long-lost underground acts, their new EP Café Life oozing lo-fi calm from a home studio’s quiet buzz. Tracks like “The Hand That I Put Down” and “Plein Air” glide past Stereolab’s echo, with guitars fizzing like live wires and Jo Roman’s voice floating airy and otherworldly over a cool and ambling rhythm.
