Louder Than The Music

Californian indie rockers Starflyer 59 will release their new album 'The Changing Of The Guard' on 10th August. The ten track album has once again been produced by the band's frontman and main songwriter Jason Martin, and was mixed by JR McNeely (Paramore, Relient K).

"I have gotten used to self-producing," Jason says. "The idea of booking out 12 days in the studio where you have to get things done for better or worse, then getting home with the songs and thinking about all the things you would like to change, but knowing you can't. I love the idea that if I don't like something I can always go back in my place and do it until I think it is right. Everyone has limitations on what they can do, but if you find something you can do reasonably well stick with that... you gotta just do what you do, and this approach works best for me."

Following their 2008 release 'Dial M', Starflyer 59 is back with ten new tracks that chronicle the ebb and flow of different phases in life. The first single, 'Truckers Son' is about the realization that the dream life someone wanted in their twenties - like being a famous musician - is not grounded in reality as they grow older. Instead the reality is the "son" becoming exactly what he tried so hard not to become - like his dad.

"With over ten albums under their belt and 15 years of experience, Starflyer 59 has become the most reliable, most dependable and yet unpredictable messengers of album after album and 'The Changing of the Guard' is no exception", says Tooth & Nail Records.
