The Stargazer Lilies Emerge Through ‘Ambient Light’: ‘Love Pedals’ and the Bloom of Noise
There’s something about the way The Stargazer Lilies weave sound that feels like stepping into a lucid dream where time dilates and colors bleed beyond their edges.
Kim Field and John Cep summon a world that exists somewhere between memory and fantasy, where every note is charged with mystery.
Their sound is a shimmering reflection caught in the ripples of shoegaze’s past but refracted through a prism that bends toward the future. Guitars cascade like waves caught in slow motion, vocals hover like ghosts drenched in reverb, and beneath it all lies that mystery factor I mentioned. They take the familiar textures of dreamy, psychedelic pop and twist them into something that’s at once vast and personal.
The Stargazer Lilies are Kim and John not only as musicians but as collaborators in life, their creative partnership an extension of their shared history with Soundpool, where the boundaries between disco and shoegaze once blurred… Now, with ‘Love Pedals,’ their upcoming album out this summer, they invite us deeper into their space, where weighty fuzz and celestial melodies coalesce into something lucid.
The record moves with a gravity that feels heavier and more textured than anything they’ve done before. It’s the sound of two artists unafraid to dwell in the haze while crafting songs that stay with you long after the last note fades. Their new single ‘Ambient Light’ offers a first glimpse into this world… this is a slow-burning, hypnotic track where Kim’s ethereal voice floats over John’s pitch-bending guitar, painting with sound and emotion in equal measure.
Just slow the fuck down and drift,… get lost in the folds of sound that only The Stargazer Lilies can create. The vinyl is now available for preorder through Little Cloud Records and Floravinyl Records. This is music that demands your attention not just as a listener but as a traveler willing to explore a bit beyond the regular.
